See if 
http://roughingit.subtlehints.net/pyblosxom/weblogs/tools/tutorial/weblog-add.html 
can help. I believe that the weblog-add program needs main blog 
directory that you configured in weblog-add.py to have subdirectories. 
You did edit weblog-add.py right?

One thing about Macs is that Apple thinks that they know better, and 
fruit cakes^H^H^H^H^H loving people (Apple users) would probably not 
need to know about things like .htaccess files, so they disabled it by 
default :) I mean, you should need to run executables in the htdocs 
right? Anyway, see
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2002/01/29/apache_macosx_four.html?page=2

Anyway, frui^H^H^H^H Mac OS X users like Francois Granger, a resident 
pyblosxom user, and all round good guy :) may help you in your quest to 
get pyblosxom running (and probably turn it into a faq of some sort). 
You can start by looking at his pyblosxom page @ 
http://fgranger.net1.nerim.net:8000/cgi-bin/pyblosxom.cgi/computers/PyBlosxom 
and/or mail him. I beleive he can do a better job.

Usually your problem can be solve by knowing apache a bit more, but I do 
not have a Mac to help you with what Apple does by default.
