Hi Folks,

Now that 2.6 is released, I wanted to install it on my local machine. What I'm having trouble wrapping my head around is how to make sure that macpython 2.6 doesn't break anything involving leopard python.

If I want macpython / 2.6 to be the default python interpreter -- what is the best route? I can think of the two following ways:

1. Change $PATH so that /usr/local/bin precedes /usr/bin

2. Symlink /usr/bin/python to /usr/local/bin/python or to /Library/ Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python

What's the "best practice" here? Should I just get used to invoking python as python2.6? Is there another way?
