One way of resolving this problem is to use MacPorts to compile your own Python 2.5 libraries. Install MacPorts and then from the Terminal run:</p><p class="codesnippet">sudo /opt/local/bin/port install py25-pil<br />sudo /opt/local/bin/port install py25-socket-ssl<br />sudo /opt/local/bin/port install py25-hashlib</p><p>Finally edit the /etc/profile file...</p><p class="codesnippet">sudo nano /etc/profile</p><p>...and add the following entry at the bottom:</p><p class="codesnippet">export PYTHONPATH=/opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages</p><p>If you want the App Engine launcher to recognise this new version of Python open the application's preferences and set the path to the python2.5 executable (see screenshot).</p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="/sites/default/files/u63/py_appengine.jpg" title="undefined" width="450" height="320" onmouseover="undefined" onmouseout="undefined" /> </p><!--break--> </div> <ul class="field-taxonomy-vocabulary-1"> <li> <a href="/tech/python">python</a> </li> <li> <a href="/tech/appengine">appengine</a> </li> </ul> Tue, 05 Aug 2008 09:42:14 +0000 David 513 at https://www.stress-free.co.nz
