(My apologies if all this is obvious) I appear to have 4 different installations of Python on my reformatted Snow Leopard installation. I have been trying to install pil and matplotlib and going round in circles.
Versions of Python: 1. came with SL I assume it is here: /usr/bin/python $ /usr/bin/python Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Jul 7 2009, 23:51:51) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin 2. From Python.org I assume it is the one here: /usr/local/bin/python $ /usr/local/bin/python Python 2.6.4 (r264:75821M, Oct 27 2009, 19:48:32) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin 3. From Macports I know it is the one here: /opt/local/bin/python $ /opt/local/bin/python Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec 21 2009, 20:23:10) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646) (dot 1)] on darwin 4. I do not know where this came from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python $ /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python Python 2.6.4 (r264:75821M, Oct 27 2009, 19:48:32) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin Clearly when I install something with macports, it is accessible only if I run the macports version of python. However, I have installed 'pip' and this seems to be installing packages so that they only work with the original python (in /usr/bin/python). So I get the following: Christopher-Brewsters-MacBook-Pro-15:~ kiffer$ python Python 2.6.4 (r264:75821M, Oct 27 2009, 19:48:32) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import matplotlib Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named matplotlib >>> Christopher-Brewsters-MacBook-Pro-15:~ kiffer$ /usr/bin/python Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Jul 7 2009, 23:51:51) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import matplotlib /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py:62: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead import md5, os, re, shutil, sys, warnings /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/pytz/tzinfo.py:5: DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated from sets import Set >>> Christopher-Brewsters-MacBook-Pro-15:~ kiffer$ /opt/local/bin/python Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec 21 2009, 20:23:10) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646) (dot 1)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import matplotlib >>> Question: How do I get 'pip' to install correctly so as to be accessible with the current default python which appears to be the one installed from python.org? If I want to use the Macport python, how do I set this to be the default, or do I always have to call it via opt/local/bin/python?
