I am keeping off Python 2.6 currently on my Mac as some of the 2.6 support is not there in all the modules I need.
I have it on my dev machine at work under XP but spend most of my time in 2.5.2 Stackless Python. OS X maintains its own Python. If you have Python 2.3 you must be running Panther? (OS X 10.3.x series). And any python.org python you install will not remove it and instead install in a different directory. As you have found out if you type /usr/local/bin/python executes the new version. Now all you have to do is add it early to your PATH so it executes first whenever you just type python. from /usr/bin/env my PATH in its entirety is thus: PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin As you can see there has been some repetition :-) so much for the Python installer keeping it clean =P Of course that is after installing Python 2.5.2 from python.org and thats how it executes when i simply type python in my bash shell on OS X Leopard (OS X 10.5.x series) It has been so long since I have run Panther that I can't for the life of me remember much about configuring it, but Panther and python path issues have cropped up way back in 2004 or so :-) Leopard ships from Apple with Python 2.5.1 2008/11/18 tiloprobst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > I understand what links do, but I honestly have no clue how to make > one.
