It seems likely that the macports packages were built with an SDK that is not compatible with MacOS X 10.6. Your solution of using python.org python and binary installers is what I recommend for distributing software that has to run on older machines. (Though there may be some way of making macports build backwards-compatible packages). -- Russell _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
