Worked for me on an installed Debian, inside Xfce with xfce4-terminal. 1) What version of Python are you running? 2) Are you running inside some kind of graphical environment? 3) Do you have any sort of permissions/environment change happening? I get an error like that if I try "sudo python" without any sort of guard. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
