Prior to setting up fink on my OS X machine, I had compiled and
installed Python 2.2.1 (from Python.org) no problem, and placed on my
machine in:
/usr/local
However, after fink install, for which several packages I downloaded
required python (or python-nox) as a dependency, I of course elected to
have fink
suck it down and install in:
/sw
I noticed when running the Python interpreter, the version information
is slightly different as follows.
1.) From my install of Python 2.2.1 in /usr/local (prior to installing
and using fink):
> Python 2.2.1 (#1, Jul 2 2002, 15:41:53)
> [GCC 2.95.2 19991024 (release)] on darwin
>
2.) From my install of fink and downloading the python package as a
dependency for other fink-supported packages that I need(ed):
> Python 2.2.1 (#1, 07/06/02, 17:17:44)
> [GCC Apple devkit-based CPP 6.02] on darwin
The version is essentially the same, but of course GCC appears to be
different. Is there any other difference that I'm missing? Did Apple
treat Python in any special way (besides a difference in the GCC base
used)?
Also, I would prefer to control and use my own (/usr/local) version of
Python. Can I merely un-install the version of Python in /sw ... and let
my environment path variables direct all requests for Python usage to my
own controlled install in /usr/local?
Thanks for any suggestions ...
