Re: Mac OS X install questions

Thanks to all who have responded.  I had suspected that, in most cases at least, the students were not following directions to install the correct version for the operating system.  I got worried when I read on python.org about the Tcl/Tk issues with different OS X versions, not sure whether that applied here...   I will report back specifics if anyone continues to have a problem.

Subject: Mac OS X install questions

The vpython.org download page for python 3.2 links to a .dmg file on the python site for Mac OS X 10.3-10.6.  I do not have a Mac, and many of my students who do use Macs are saying the 10.3 dmg file "is not working" with vpython.  What I find particularly confusing is that the 10.3 dmg file is stated as being for OS X 10.3 to 10.6, and then the more recent file is for 10.6 to 10.7.  Perhaps the intervals are only half-open, but it looks to the students as if either one should work for 10.6.

 I have two questions.

1.  Will Visual Python work with the more recent .dmg file for Python 3.2 for Max OS X 10.6 and later?
2.  Will Visual Python work with either of the Python 3.3 installs for Mac?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
