Hi :)

First off, I am still new to the ports package management system, so be
gentle if the following text contains dumb questions yeah?

Okies, here goes. I installed python 2.5 from the lang/python25 port. And
then installed mod_python from www/mod_python3

during install mod_python bullied python 2.4.4 onto my system, and complied
against it. After this the default python binary on my system was 2.4.4 ,
and reinstalling 2.5 didn't help this. First off, how can i change this
back? (im guessing that just copying the python2.5 binary is not a good
idea, is there a command for choosing the default python interpreter)

secondly, how come the mod_python installation didnt choose to use 2.5? i
looked in the makefile, and it uses a variable called PYTHON_CMD , shudn't
python 2.5 have set this variable?
It is because mod_python uses the lang/python port as a dependency. This by default installs version 2.4. If you uninstall your current mod_python and python 2.4, then set PYTHON_VERSION=python2.5 in make.conf, if you install lang/python or mod_python, it'll then install and use lang/python2.5.

Hope that helps,

Richard
