[Setup] Problem with Plone OS X installer on OS X 10.4.11

Sun Jul 12 21:40:19 UTC 2009

The real error here is:

Jul 12 12:05:48 plone-test : preflight[400]: ImportError: No module named wx

This means that the system Python didn't have wxwidgets available, which
should be a part of the standard system Python on a 10.4.11 install. Is
there any chance you've replaced the system Python? (There's also some
chance that there's been a regression in the installer. I don't check every
release on a 10.4.x machine.)

If the problem is a change in the system Python, the thing to do would be to
install the XCode tools and use the Unified Installer rather than the
interactive binary installer.
