The Python interpreter is not included - Python (2.1 upwards) must be 
installed, which is the case in OSX and most if not all Linux 
distributions. It's not standard on Windows, but there's a convenient 
installer.

That's strange... i have no problem under OSX 10.3 with standard Python 
installation (py cvs)

Could you try to load the following script with py:

------------

try:
	import sys
except:
	print "Not even sys is working"

try:
	import os.path
except:
	print "Import failed:",str(sys.exc_info()[1])

many thanks,
Thomas
