[Tutor] Questions about easygui and compiling

[Rafael Bejarano]

Hello,

I am very new to python and have a couple of questions, to which I  
would very much appreciate answers from the members of this list.

First, I am trying to learn to use easygui to present simple dialogs  
and get input from the user. To this end, I wrote a very short test  
program, just to make sure I new how to use easygui. Although I get  
no error messages when I run it, the dialog boxes do not appear. What  
might I be doing wrong? It may be helpful to know (a) that I am  
learning python on a Mac iBook g4 (running OS 10.4), (b) that I wrote  
the test program using the Smultron text editor, and (c) that I am  
using python launcher to run the program. I would be only too happy  
to send a copy of the program as an attachment or pasted in the body  
of a future e-mail message, should someone on this list feel that  
doing so would be helpful in answering my question.

Second, how does one compile python programs?

Cordially,
Rafael Bejarano
