Hmm, strange. Could you check in the Console 
(Applications->Utilities->Console)
whether there's any output there that show what could cause this? Also, 
does
the PythonIDE run normally?

And: is anyone else having success running Package Manager?

BTW: there are at the moment very few (one:-) packages in the database. 
I hope
to add another couple before I go on holidays, but don't hold your 
breath. If you
want to live dangerously visit <http://www.python.org/packman> and try 
the packages
in the experimental database, but this is basically the 2.3b1 database 
so there's a good
chance things won't work).

Thanks for the report, I'll fix these!
