Error in running python -v on Mac ox 10.5.

[silverburgh]

Hi,

I run 'python -v' on Macos 10.5 but I get this error :
# can't create /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/
2.5/lib/python2.5/encodings/utf_8.pyc

Can you please tell me how to fix it?

And why I am seeing a lot of 'install' message' when i run 'python -
v'? I don't think I see that many
install message on linux.

Here is the full message. Thanks for any help.

This looks like the utf_8.py file has not been compiled in the
installation. Looks like a (not serious) bug to me.

Probably sudo python -v would solve it (even without -v, but it will
tell you that it wrote the .pyc file).

I don't see 'install' messages in the included text.

Hi,

I run 'python -v' on Macos 10.5 but I get this error :
# can't create /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/
2.5/lib/python2.5/encodings/utf_8.pyc

Can you please tell me how to fix it?

This looks like a rights-problem to me, and a missing pyc-file.

If you do

sudo python -v

does it work? Then, utf_8.pyc might have been created, and subsequent
sudo-less inovcations might work.
