Are you using any hardened gentoo kernels or anything like that, or is it a "normal" gentoo build? I don't think this is a python problem, but rather a permissions problem at a level OTHER than the filesystem. I found this in the gentoo forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-549470-highlight-interpreter+permission+denied.html Are you using any "trusted path execution" in the kernel? This would potentially be something that could happen with ANY lniux system, not just gentoo. FWIW, I am having the same problem (even though I never actually tried on this system before) :-) -- David Rock [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
