To all:

Thanks to help on the piddle e-group I found that changing line 252 in
piddleQD.py as below enables the drawstring and all other tests to work
fine in Python 1.5.2c1 on the Mac.

Change line 252 from:

font._QDfontID = fontID

to:

font.__dict__['_QDfontID'] = fontID

This has something to do with dictionaries being immutable, but I
haven't fully grokked it, yet.  Anyone know.  It fixes the problems and
piddle plotting works like a charm so far.

P.S.  If you run piddletest.py , you must run it in the IDE to use the
Quickdraw backend (easy to do, though).  After opening the file in the
IDE, go up to the arrow on the upper right of the window and choose
"Run as Main".  Then run it.  Works fine.
