[GRASS-dev] Re: bundling wxpython - solves 6.4 digitizer problem

[William Kyngesburye]

All Macs should have a /Library/Python.  At least as far back as 10.4  
Tiger.  There are version sub-folders for each python installed in the  
system.  If it is missing completely on your MacBook, you may have  
accidentally deleted it.

So, maybe you are building with the latest wxpython and the system  
Python, but then at runtime the python.org Python in /Library/ 
Frameworks is run somehow with the other wxpython.  Or some such mixup  
somewhere.

Copying /Library/Python from the iMac should be OK as long as they're  
both the same system, though you may want to reinstall python  
extensions like wxpython just to make sure they have all the support  
bits they need.
