Off the top of my head, I don't know if Leopard replaces the existing

latter, you may be inadvertently getting the older version.
You can check what version(s) of Python are installed with
which python
and
python --version
Patrick, thanks for the help. There's still much I don't understand
% which python returns:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python
% python --version gets me:
Python 2.5
starting up python at the command line I get:
% python
Python 2.5 (r25:51918, Sep 19 2006, 08:49:13)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5341)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
(I just installed these modules from scratch with the Leopard-supplied
Python and they work as expected from both BBEdit and Terminal.)
which modules?
I removed and reinstalled pydot using % python setup.py install to no
avail.
But then I tried this
at the command line:
import sys
sys.path
returns:
['',
'/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c5-py2.5.egg',
'/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/geopy-0.93-py2.5.egg',

'/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib-tk',
'/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload',
'/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages']
But if I do this from bbedit:
#! /usr/bin/python
import sys
print sys.path
gets me:
['/private/var/folders/n1/n17CvpHVFDW6SKzBMMwzcU+++TM/Cleanup At Startup',
'/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python25.zip',
'/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5',

'/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/plat-mac',

'/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python',
'/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib-tk',
'/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload',
'/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages',
'/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC']
Why so different, I wondered?
But I tried this:
/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages contained only a README that said:
This directory exists so that 3rd party packages can be installed
here. Read the source for site.py for more details.
so I replaced /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/ with a symbolic link
thus:
jjc% ln -s
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/
site-packages
This worked! But I'm a little concerned that this might be some clutzy
hack. Some illumination from the knowledgeable as to WHY this works would
be very helpful.
thanks,
Jon
