No, it installs to /Library/Frameworks and makes a few symlinks /usr/ local/bin. > (I'd read the webpages, but I can't find any official macpython > webpages that have been updated for Tiger.) Python 2.4.1 works fine on Tiger (it probably says "10.3+" or "10.3 and later", which means "works on tiger"), but if you want to compile extensions, you'll have to pick up TigerPython24Compat from <http:// pythonmac.org/packages> -- which is a patch that fixes a header in the pkg. There should be plenty of information on Tiger and the various Pythons on my blog: <http://bob.pythonmac.org/>. If someone would like to distill this information and put it in the wiki <http:// pythonmac.org/wiki> then please feel free. As far as the "official macpython webpages" go, Jack is a busy guy and doesn't update them very regularly. Currently the information in my blog and the archives of this list are authoritative, especially with regard to Python 2.4.1, since I built that distribution. -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
