If you do that please be sure to mention that you can also just use: python2.4 at the prompt and in the #! line of scripts. You probably need to put "/usr/local/bin" in the PATH anyway, but it may or may not be before "/usr/bin". It's still a mystery to me why most systems don't have /usr/local/bin in the PATH by default. By the way, modifying those sym links in Linux is probably not a good idea either. Some Linux systems use python for system services (RedHat and Gentoo, at least), and you wouldn't want to mess those up either. I really wish system builders would hard-code the path or version of python in the system scripts, then this would be so much easier! -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer NOAA/OR&R/HAZMAT (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
