Hi Gary - welcome to the list.
This is a frequent question so a search of the archive might help, but
here's my explanation:

Hello and happy new year!
I'm new to python and to this list but am a happy several year
convert to OS X (now using leopard).
I hope this isn't some kind of noob question that upsets the
subscribers to this list :-)
I realize that leopard ships with its own python installation but
that it is somewhat outdated compared to what's currently available
(the latest being python 3.0). Not long ago, I installed, I believe,
MacPython (ver. 2.5). At least when I enter "which python" I get:
Macintosh-4:~ gary$ which python
/usr/bin/python
and when I enter "python" from within my home directory, I get:
Macintosh-4:~ gary$ python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 17 2008, 19:35:17)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
But suppose I want to install version 2.6 or the newly released 3.0;
where do they get installed (will they overwrite previous
installations) and if they occupy their own territory, how do I run
the various versions? I assume each separate version has its own
version of IDLE too...
Is there some way of finding out which pythons I have currently
installed and their locations (paths?)
Thanks for your help,
Gary
