Hi all,

I cannot seem to get my Mac to find the site-packages directory for MacPython 2.5.

Below is some relevant info from terminal. The first path in $PATH is somehow being applied during startup (by some other process, I presume MacPython.) and it is pointing to the lib directory.


The /usr/bin/python is an alias pointing to /Library/Frameworks/ Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin/python2.5 -- that's the bin directory

Then from within python I printed all the the sys.paths and sys.prefix. I tried to create a site-packages sub directory in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ python2.5 , but python doesn't seem to find it automatically.


[Macintosh:~] huntculver% echo $PATH
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ python2.5:Macintosh:HD/Users/huntculver/.MacOSX:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/ sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
[Macintosh:~] huntculver% which python
/usr/bin/python

any suggestions?


Thanks,
