Don;t do that until you are sure the program works. Instead open a Terminal window and run your program from the command line by typing python myprog.py That way you will be able to see any errors or warnings more easily. > I would be only too happy to send a copy of the program > as an attachment or pasted in the body If its just a short program then thats probably a good idea. Although I personal;ly don't know much about EasyGUI there are some on the list who use it. > Second, how does one compile python programs? Python modules are compiled into byte code when you import them. If a compiled version exists then it is loaded instead which slightly improves load time. But Python is an interpreted language like Perl or Applescript and is not compiled in the same way as C++ or Objective C. In practice this makes little difference since in most cases the bulk of the time is spent executing functions that are written inn C (and thus compiled) and on a Mac you can use the python launcher to build application bundles for convenient distribution.
