Well, I just dropped the PythonCore file (roughly equivalent to dlls) 
into the right place alongside the Interpreter (I moved the older one 
to another folder). There's a macerrors.py file in the lib folder 
(directory), but no errors.py file.

There's some very good installers on the Mac (Vise, InstallerMaker), 
but it was the work of 5 seconds to use stackless (because Just had 
put in considerably more than 5 seconds worth of work!). Most Mac 
users will be ok with moving a file about in a folder I reckon...
