When typing "python":
- If /usr/bin comes before /usr/local/bin in your PATH then Python 2.3.0 will be used, if /usr/local/bin comes first, then Python 2.4.1 will be used (of course, with sufficient other crap installed, this may not be true).
When typing "python2.3" - Will always choose 2.3.0 (unless you have other crap installed)
When typing "python2.4"
- Will always choose 2.4.1 (unless you have other crap installed, or /usr/local/bin is not in the path)
When running scripts installed by Python packages, their "#!" lines are rewritten to point to a *specific* Python. In those cases, it's whichever you installed most recently. For example, the bdist_mpkg script that comes with py2app.
It has been a dense day as I've had my head around an OOP design pattern approach, so I'm sure I'm missing the obvious with this side track :~)
Having a little trouble getting at Python 2.4 and wondered what I need to set to get such by default. Do I need to reset the whole sys.path each time? I also wanted Wing to access 2.4 in interactive mode before I setup a project, so I wanted something outside of Wing to stick.
When I say PATH I mean the PATH environment variable.
sys.path is a side-effect of which interpreter was run, not the cause of it. By the time sys.path even exists, you're already running Python, so how could that be relevant?
I used 2.4 previously but that was through Applications/MacPython-2.4/PythonIDE so I tried copying the Wing folder over to Applications/MacPython-2.4/ (from Applications/) but then Wing comes all garbled still (trying to) referencing 2.3. The Terminal try follows, in turn followed by the PythonIDE in 2.4 sys.path:
I've said this to you before, those folders are *NOT IN ANY WAY SPECIAL*. Moving stuff around on the filesystem isn't going to do anything (except break stuff).
Read <http://svn.red-bean.com/pyobjc/trunk/pyobjc/Doc/Xcode-Templates.html>, hopefully you'll figure it out. If not, search the archives or ask the Wing folk. I don't really have time right now to explain in more detail than I already have.
