It is almost certainly because on your friend's ML system the Python being invoked is still Apple's installation in /System/Library/Frameworks. If you download and install the default 2.7 from python.org (which will go in /Library/Frameworks…) it will work. I just tested your command and it works fine on my ML system. If you want, I'll send you my python path off line. -Bill -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
