Installing Python Packages
I am teaching myself python and have 2.6 installed. What is the proper way to install py26-setuptools? As 2.7 is the default it appears that I can neither use pkg_add nor build from the ports tree. I can download the source and the 2.6 egg. It appears that I need to configure the egg for FreeBSD. Is that correct? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Is that correct? Hi Doug, You can do this easily by using the ports tree. First, add the following to your /etc/make.conf (create the file if necessary): PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION=python2.6 Next, do this: cd /usr/ports/devel/py-setuptools make install clean You should be all set, and any other Python port that you install will use the Python 2.6 installation, assuming you installed it from the ports tree.

Hope that helps, Greg Great - I am sure it will, thank you.

In the header comment of each .mk file, you'll find a long list of variables and what they are used for. Some of the variables are only useful in the context of a port Makefile, but other ones like PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION are used in /etc/make.conf. At the moment, I don't know if there's an easy way to enumerate all variables of the latter type, but that would be a good project. I use things like: NOPORTDOCS=yes NOPORTEXAMPLES=yes NO_X11=yes in /etc/make.conf when building server images.
