Re: Handling of multiple Pythons on the same system
Kirk Strauser [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: How do you manage multiple versions of Python on the same machine?

Those packages are mutually exclusive; they both write some files to the same place, and write other files to version-specific paths. This is quickly becoming a hassle. Is there a good workaround for this situation? You should talk to the port maintainer about it. The only suggestion I can think of is to set up a second port PREFIX for the ports that depend on the older Python. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
