Hmm, I think this is a problem with the preference file. Or=20
rather a problem with no preferences file being available. Or,=20
more probable, an incorrect preferences file being available.

Could you please try the following, and tell me whether it works=20
(all this as the unprivileged user):
- Remove any prefs file (in ~/Library/Preferences) with "python"=20
in the name.
- Run PythonInterpreter once by double-clicking it.
- Quit PythonInterpreter.
- Try the IDE.

This may fix things. If it does: let me know. If it doesn't:=20
could you option-double-click PythonInterpreter, keep option=20
depressed until the initial dialog appears, select "trace import=20
statements", at the prompt type
 >>> import sys
 >>> print sys.path
 >>> print sys.executable
and mail me all of the output in the PythonInterpreter window=20
(so also the import traces)?
