Thanks.

By any chance, are you using Lilypond v 2.11.44-1 or 2.11.45-1 ? Both  
of those versions were built with Python included (as I understand  
it). Neither would run on either the PPC 10.4.11 powerbook or a x86  
iMac running 10.4.11. Version 2.11.45-2 does run, and is the version  
called by jEdit in my install.
