I have three python versions, one that came with OS X, one from
MacPorts and one which I compiled with:
./configure --prefix=$HOME
All works fine, but I don't understand when I change my .profile so that
export PYTHON=$HOME/bin/python
and try to build for example swftools, swftools only finds the MacPorts python
I've never seen a environment variable called "PYTHON", there is a
"PYTHONHOME" and "PYTHONPATH" (and others). In any case, I think they
are all used by Python once it is started, but don't specify how to
start it.
How do I force swftools to use the $HOME/bin/python python version?
That all depends on how swftools does its build -- so I'd think it's a
question for that list. If it is building with distutils (setup.py),
then you just have to make sure you run the setup.py with the python you
want to build for
