start python in a terminal

type:

import mx.DateTime
print mx.DateTime.now()
(- should print current date/time)

import pyPgSQL
(- should not give any error messages)

It's getting the source.

GnuMed is trying to import its modules. In a real
installation (eg. NOT from CVS) they are going to live below
/Library/Python/2.3/Gnumed/

This location doesn't exist so GnuMed cannot load its files.

The easiest solution for running GnuMed from a CVS tree is to
just use the shell script gm-from-cvs.sh

this you have done already

these are more suggestions as to how to teach GnuMed where to
find its stuff

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this is what you are after

run it from the shell prompt (eg in a terminal window) like
this:

$> ./gm-from-cvs.sh

and you *should* be good to go
