Thanks very much.  I'll give it a go.
Cheers.

BTW, that easy_install will itself be installed into the bin directory
of the python.org python framework.  So to ensure you are using that
easy_install and that python, make sure that bin directory is on your
PATH before "/usr/bin", so, if necessary, something like:

export PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin: 
$PATH"
