[FLASH-USERS] Running FLASH4.3 on Mac

[Carlo Graziani]

Hi Ritam.

Python is very picky about whitespace.  Two lines that look identical in 
your editor can look different to the python interpreter, because one 
uses spaces and the other one uses tabs, or a mixture.  Is it possible 
that you inadvertently edited the setup.py script, perhaps by deleting a 
tab and re-inserting some spaces?

I would get a pristine version of the setup script and try again.

Cheers,

Carlo
