I am trying to install Python from sources in my home directory on a Mac cluster (running MacOS X 10.4.8). The path to my home directory contains a blank, and since the installation procedure insists on getting an absolute path for the prefix, I cannot avoid installing to a path whose name contains a blank. Python does not seem to be prepared for this, as it uses only the part before the blank, resulting in numerous error messages.
Does anyone know a workaround? Thanks, Konrad. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
