Being a novice python programmer for at least some years to come, a
simple question came up.
How difficult would it be for the eminent mac python gurus to provide
a python script (GetGoing.py :-) doing all the installation needed to
install the new 2.4 version as a *replacement* for the pre-installed 2.3
version on osx 10.3 ?
Extremely difficult, because nobody who knows what they're doing is going to encourage you to replace *ANY* pre-installed Apple software. Touching files in /System and /usr (except /usr/local) is primarily reserved for Apple, and changing anything in there is almost guaranteed to break something.
Install it to the standard place, and change your $PATH such that /usr/local/bin comes before /usr/bin. Then when you type "python" you get Python 2.4. That's probably what you actually want, anyway.
