unable to get zenmap to work on Mac OSX - some info

[Thomas Sheffler <tom.sheffler () sbcglobal net>]

I've been working on getting Zenmap to work on Mac OSX and have been unsuccessful.  Here is what I can tell you of the 
problem so far. 

Running Mac OSX 10.5.8

- Used mac installer for nmap, ncat, ndiff, zenmap.app.  Clicking on Zenmap resulted in an exception in python.  See 
console trace below.

- I found a suggestion somewhere to use MacPorts to install "py25-gtk" and "py25-py2app-devel."
- There are now two new behaviors of crash depending on whether I authorize ROOT permission or not.

WITH ROOT AUTHENTICATION:
