Is it possible, or advisable, to make the python install included with
Sage the default for the entire system on MacOS X? I've tried the
Enthought distribution, and it automagically sets itself as the default,
but there's a lot of unnecessary duplication if I'm also going to be
using Sage.
I would assume that adding $SAGE_ROOT/bin to the PATH would be a start.
I've installed the app bundle, so the path is
/Applications/Sage-4.7-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/sage/local/bin
I know that I can use sage -sh python to start the python interpreter in
the terminal, but I would like to have this be the default behavior
whenever python is executed. For example, I use PyCharm for debugging
large projects and often run python scripts from the terminal with
#!/usr/bin/env python
as the first line. Also, if I'm installing a package using pip or
easy_install, I would like to only have to do that once as well as not
having to reinstall scipy and numpy, et al. for the system python.
I've done several searches, and haven't found any answers to this
specific problem. If I've missed something in the documentation, I would
appreciate a pointer in the right direction.
Thanks,
Tony
