[Pythonmac-SIG] newbie osx question

[Daniel Lord]

Blake,

I use BBEdit and that feature works fine for me though you cannot do 
unix filters from the BBEdit menu in Python, only in Perl and the 
Shell. Thanks for reminding me I need to write them a note requesting 
that ;-)/

1) Do you have the path to your Python executable at the top of your 
file as in:
#!/usr/bin/python? It might be you have #!/usr/local/bin/python up 
there but you said the path to you executable does not include local. 
Check this.

Daniel
