OK, I'll do the long path. But I'm still puzzled about hard-coding the version. Why not just use: PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/ Current/bin:$PATH" and automatically get the current version? It seems to me that would be best for most users and that experts who want finer control would know what to do. -- Russell _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
