hi...i've had Python installed and running in the past, but switched 
machines to a new Powerbook G3 (Lombard) w/ 8.6 and can't get Python 
to install or run properly...i'm hoping for some help...

at the end of the install process for 1.5.1, i get this message.....

I cannot import the Res module, nor load it from either of
toolboxmodules shared libraries. The errors encountered were:
import Res: No module named Res
load from toolboxmodules.CFM68K.slb: PythonCore: The named library 
was not found.
load from toolboxmodules.ppc.slb: toolboxmodules.ppc.slb: File not found

if i try to run "Configure Python" i get:

Traceback (innermost last):
   File "flap:jack:Python:Mac:scripts:ConfigurePython.py", line 237, in ?
   File "flap:jack:Python:Mac:scripts:ConfigurePython.py", line 177, in main
macfs.error: (-43, 'File not found')

if i try to fire up the IDE i get:

Traceback (innermost last):
   File "DevDev:PyPy:RoboFog:IDE:PythonIDE.py", line 54, in ?
   File "DevDev:PyPy:RoboFog:IDE:PythonIDE.py", line 21, in init
ImportError: No module named Qd

I can still launch Python and import use most basic modules and built-ins....

Similar problems occur w/ the 1.5.2b2 install.

Where should i go from here?
