Hi, Firstly, I either use the built-in version of Idle on mac which is 2.5, or I'm using ActivePython 2.6, I'm not familiar with binaries so to save time this is what I used. I then install the .dmg of twisted to a file I create on my desktop, then go into sys.path and add /Users/username/Desktop, then trying 'import twisted' I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module> import twisted File "/Users/arielakeman/Desktop/twisted/__init__.py", line 11, in <module> import rand, crypto, SSL, tsafe ImportError: No module named OpenSSL.crypto I looked for but could not find an install.py file, and reading the readme which accompanies twisted under installation it simply says: 'see INSTALL'. I'm running Mac OS 10.5.6 and would massively appreciate any help getting twisted working, be it binaries or dmg!

Hi, I've taken an interest in event driven programming, I came across twisted and liked the look of it, I've tried downloading the .dmg from twistedmatrix/trac unfortunately after trying multiple installations including direct installation to both the folder where python is found (under system/frameworks...) and by changing the sys.path to another directory I fail to be able to import twisted in the interactive prompt. I have a hunch I may be missing OpenSSL (occassional errors) but I don't know enough about this (after googling) to be able to resolve this.
I've never tried to install Twisted on OS X except by using setup.py to do a single-user installation. However, I'm pretty sure that if you provide more details about how exactly the installation process fails you'll be more likely to get someone else who does have a clue to help you out.
Be detailed in what steps you took and what the consequences were. Where there are errors, include them verbatim.
