[Pythonmac-SIG] Re: MacPython 2.1.1c2

[Scott Griffitts]

Multiple Users is installed but multiple accounts are turned off.
Anti-virus and file sharing are turned off.  My hard drive is named G3.

2.1 was my first ever installation of Python so there was no previous pref
file.  When I installed 2.1.1 I made sure to remove all traces of 2.1 from
system folder and elsewhere.

Unfortunately, I didn't give the interpreter a shot before I reinstalled
classic only. 

My system profile is below.

Thanks,
Scott

Scott,
I have no idea what is causing your problems. They also seem to be
unique (i.e. if anyone else sees something similar: please speak up!).

Some wild guesses:
- are you using Multiple Users? I've never tried this, and it could
  well make the install fail. Is anyone else using Multiple Users?
- Are you running some virus-catching software that could cause this?
- Running off a fileserver maybe, so Python has no permission to save
  the prefs file?
- "Funny" (non-ascii) characters in your diskname? In the path to
Python?

Some other info that would be interesting:
- Does the prefs file actually exist or is Python somhow only thinking
that it exists?
- Your Apple System Profile output could be handy.

The second Apple Menu in the IDE, by the way, means that the IDE has
crashed. Unfortunately this means you can't easily find out why it did
so. Did the bare PythonInterpreter run OK?
