Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Fink vs MacPorts vs Framework
Hi ! Seems to me there are a lot of python packages that are available through the MacPorts. In the built-in framework, there are only a few basic packages. Fink gives the same benefits than MacPorts, but there might be fewer packages available though it than through MacPorts. That's why I use MacPorts. Is this right ? a 2009/6/30 Dan Ross d...@rosspixelworks.com: I currently use a Framework of 2.6.2 for my Python work but I always see a lot of posts about using Fink or MacPorts builds. Could anyone shed some light on why they use these rather than a Framework? Advantages/disadvantages?

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Fink vs MacPorts vs Framework
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I can certainly add any packages I like to my Framework build so I don't think availability of packages is a concern.

Pygame for example, that is a pain to build right, is avaliable in macports, the same with subversion bindings and so on. The macport version of python 2.5 and 2.6 is a framework build so it is almost the same as the default leopard python sans dtrace support and probably the same as python.org ones. So it is just advantages in using the macports one I think :) -- Leonardo Santagada santagada at gmail.com ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Fink vs MacPorts vs Framework
That makes a great deal of sense. I tried to mess with pygame at one time, but as you stated, it was such a pain to build I gave up.

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Fink vs MacPorts vs Framework
My experience shows me that using fink or macports with python framework create problems with version mismatches and library duplication. So now, I only use the framework because i want to learn. With a little patience and trying a lot (with the help of google), I gradually install what I want, even pygame pygame but I must admit it was a bit complicated -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Fink-vs-MacPorts-vs-Framework-tp24271594p24276543.html Sent from the Python - pythonmac-sig mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig

Thanks but I do not want MacPorts or fink, I want to do it myself with only the tools of mac os x -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Fink-vs-MacPorts-vs-Framework-tp24271594p24278207.html Sent from the Python - pythonmac-sig mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
