If you downloaded the python.org 2.7 installer for OS X 10.5 or later, you are probably running into the problems documented here: http://bugs.python.org/issue9227 As a workaround, try downloading and installing the 32-bit Mac Installer for 2.7. The IDLE that it installs *should* work OK on 10.6. http://python.org/download/releases/2.7/ -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
