[Pythonmac-SIG] (Newbie) Troubles with ConfigurePython

[W.B. Douglas]

List members,

My apologies for introducing myself in the way. I have been able to find a
reference in the mailing list archive to this very problem, but no mention
of its _solution. I hope I will not be trying your patience too much by
raising the question here.

On installing either 1.52b1 or 1.51 I get an error when ConfigurePython
tries to run. In the case of 1.5.1 it seems identical to a previously
reported case - Python claims it cannot find toolboxmodules.CFM68K.slb or
toolboxmodules.PPC.slb while looking to load Res, although inspecting
sys.path shows that the the correct directory _is in the list and those two
files are definitely in that directory. The error for 1.52b1 is somewhat
more cryptic but appears to be similar; a 'file not found' error is being
reported.

Would someone be so kind as to give me what must be a rather well-worn
pointer to the solution for this? I'd like to get Python running on my Mac,
not merely to play, but actually to do some work! - after which I hope to
play...

-wbd.
