Sorry I forgot to mention I don't have  /Library/Application Support/ 
TextMate directory.

Aside from the the default Apple install of python in /usr/bin/python,
I have installed the recommended version of python 2.5 (Framework  
build) and it is linked to /usr/local/bin:
/usr/local/bin/python -> ../../../Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ 
Versions/2.5/bin/python
(My default $PATH searches /usr/local/bin ahead of /usr/bin/ )

Using  TextMate Version 1.5.4 (1360):

1. Only response I get is:

PyMate r6190 running Python 2.3.5 (/usr/bin/python)
 >>> test_raw_input.py

and I have to stop the task before I can close the window.


2. Running using the Run Script (Terminal) command works fine (calls  
pythonw rather than python):

clear; cd '/Users/harry/Desktop'; 'pythonw' '/Users/harry/Desktop/ 
test_raw_input.py'; rm -f ''


3. Running the old version (via pymate.py) works fine (though it  
appears to disregard the /usr/bin/python (2.3) for the /usr/local/bin/ 
python (2.5) ):
HIDE STDERR SHOW STDERR
Python 2.5.0 - PyMate r5848
For comments contact the author.
The regular Python interpreter can be invoked using ⌘⇧R.
 >>> test_raw_input.py
123
forcing redraw!!! don't remove
Script terminated with success.

I noticed that in the pymate.py code there is an explicit function  
for putting up a CocoaDialog input box (via  raw_input_replacement 
(prompt='')); is the same Cocoa dialog input box supposed to come up  
with the Ruby code pymate.rb? This failure may be the kernel of the  
problem ... is there a simple test whether my ruby install is working?
/usr/bin/ruby -v
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [universal-darwin8.0]
file /usr/bin/ruby
/usr/bin/ruby: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/usr/bin/ruby (for architecture i386):  Mach-O executable i386
/usr/bin/ruby (for architecture ppc):   Mach-O executable ppc


Sorry to present such an intractable enigmatic problem ...

Harry.
