That seems a bit limiting if you can put libraries/modules where you want, but force headers to be in one location to be usable (while still letting you install them anywhere).

You mean MacPython, right? Is there a separate MacPython installer for Tiger? The one I found (from March) says it's for Panther, and I'm a bit cautious of installing something meant for Panther on Tiger. Are there any problems running that one on Tiger? ----- William Kyngesburye <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.kyngchaos.com/ Earth: "Mostly harmless" - revised entry in the HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
