I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.8 on both client and server.

I've double checked my settings.  In SSH I have X11Forwarding turned  
on.  The .Xauthority file contains the correct host information.  I  
can check with the R statistics package that it works.

I've tried setting the DISPLAY to the remote server's (from the  
command line and within Python as suggested) but I get the following  
error message...

kCGErrorRangeCheck : Window Server communications from outside of  
session allowed for root and console user only
INIT_Processeses(), could not establish the default connection to the  
WindowServer.Abort

I'm running the pre-built Mac OS X Python (v2.5).
