  I have had a similar problem. I had an alias to the python core in 
my system:extensions folder. But I kept getting can't find python 
core errors. If I throw away the alias and then make a new one it 
works fine with no errors until the next time I restart my Mac then 
the error occurs again. I finally just moved the pythoncore into my 
extensions folder and got rid of the alias. I looked at the original 
for the alias and it had the appletalk domain: machine name: on the 
front of the path. I find that interesting. Not all aliases on my 
machine do this but all the recent ones I make have it. This is 
something strange about MacOS I am not familiar with. Could this be 
breaking the lookup by python?

I have MacOS 9.0.4 on a Lombard Powerbook and python 1.5.2c1.
Note the pythoncore was on a different partition than the system 
folder when the problem occured. This may not be relevant.

BTW. On a completely unrelated topic . I was able to get python cgi 
scripts running with personal web sharing using the pythoncgislave 
(thanks Just). I am surprised that the latest incarnation (march 
2000) of the pythoncgislave script is not readily available either in 
the vaults of parnasses or on the python mac web page, it is really 
useful. I found it in an old posting.

Anyway if you add a "launch on suffix" action to web sharing with the 
suffix set to .py and the application to launch set to the 
pythoncgislave applet then any url with a .py will run as a cgi 
script. Examples are attached below.

Sam,
