This is where it gets a bit confusing. I still have a "MacPython 2.3"
folder in Applications, which I must have installed at some point in
the past even though the default Tiger Python is 2.3.5. But I now also
have "Python 2.6" in Applications with the same tools (Python Launcher,
IDLE, samples, etc.) following the Python 2.6 install. This is the 2.6
I downloaded by following the download links in www.python.org.

I should have been a bit clearer. When I double-click on minimal.py (or
any other Python script) the Python Launcher preference window briefly
appears for a fraction of a second and then disappears. I assume it's
the 2.6 version but it goes so quickly it's difficult to tell. Nothing
actually runs.

Thanks for sending through the other details...I'll compare them to my
set-up when I get a bit more time.
