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?
change $PATH - DO NOT mess with /usr/bin at all.
If the installer isn't doing it for you (I think it did for me), then do
it by hand.
Note that I think my PATH may have been set to:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/current/bin/python
and the installer changed the "current" link. I actually changed that
link back to 2.5, as there are too many modules that don't yet work with
2.6, so I consider it experimental.
I'm at home an Mac-less right now, so I may have a detail wrong....
