As far as I am aware, OS X always comes with Python. I'm not sure if 10.6 comes with Python 2.6 or 2.5, but one or the other is certainly there, unless you have some sort of stripped-down install I'm not familiar with. > Does anyone have experience with OS X ?

I believe OS X is sufficiently Unix-like that curses will do the job. -- Rami Chowdhury "Never assume malice when stupidity will suffice." -- Hanlon's Razor 408-597-7068 (US) / 07875-841-046 (UK) / 0189-245544 (BD) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
