not by default, no.  you have to install it (from the XCode bundle/
package).

l.

p.s. i skipped replying to the other message but yes there is actually
an implementation of x11 directly in pure python.  you can use it to
write window managers in it.  but it's _not_ an x11 server
implementation, it's just equivalent to... ooo... probably libx11:
i.e. it connects to e.g. KDE, GDM, Fvwm and sends and responds to
events.
