I just installed Leopard on my Mac. I already was using Python 2.5. I can run a Python script from a terminal window by typing "python script.py" as one would expect ... but not using the Python launcher either directly or indirectly (by double clicking on a Python icon). Has anyone else observed this and, more importantly, found a fix for this problem?

My guess is the environmental settings have changed somehow. You may be able to edit the shortcut's properties somehow to make it work, but I don't have a Mac, so I can't say for sure. Reinstalling the main Python distro would probably fix the issue.

I had tried both ... with no success. Just a minor pain, but still...

I can launch a script from IDLE as well as the command line.
If I start Python Launcher and choose File/Open... I get a dialog box: "The document 'script.py' could not be opened". It's definitely a Python Launcher problem. No fix so far.
One other thing I noticed is that when I opened any Python script in TextEdit and then tried to save it with Cmd-S it said "The file could not be saved". After doing a Save As... on that one file everything was OK. Now I can save any Python script, not just the one that had the original problem. I don't know if this is relevant, but it sure seems strange.
