By default, the 3.0.1 installer does not install any links in /usr/local/bin. To do so, run or re-run the installer, click Customize, and then select the "UNIX command-line tools" package. That creates /usr/local/python3.0 and /usr/local/python links, among others. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
