Re: Python on Mac

Hi! Luca, All you need to do is in the final step of (configure, make and make install), use make altinstall instead of make install. That way, your original python implementation won't be affected. Thanks, Raj On Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 7:46 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi All. > I'm really

Re: python on mac os 10.4.x

Go to http://wiki.python.org/moin/MacPython and http://pythonmac.org/packages/ if you want to download macpython 2.5 or macpython 2.4.4 ("framework" builds). Installation is very easy (package) and you have all you want without problem with the 2.3.5 version wich remains installed and functional

Re: python on mac os 10.4.x

Check out: http://www.pythonmac.org/packages/ for the latest version of Python, which will run the latest version of wxPython fine. (I'm using wxPython 2.8 on Python 2.4) On 2 Apr 2007 22:00:55 -0700, 7stud <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, Python 2.3.5 comes pre-installed on mac os 10.4.7, and

Ok, I fixed my /usr/bin/python and added /usr/public/bin/ to my PATH in .profile. Everything seems ok now. Thanks again to everyone for their help. THN -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: python on Mac

Well, as I stated in post, I've already replaced the link at /usr/bin/python. I'm not clear why that's unhealthy. Should I change it back to whatever it was before? I guess maybe it was /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python ? Thanks, THN -- http://mail.python.

Re: python on Mac

You removed /usr/bin/python! This is a really bad idea. You should never modify /usr/bin because the system is expecting it. This is why the new installation is in /usr/local/bin. Modify your /usr/local instead are change your .login file instead. It is much safer. -- http://mail.python.org/mail

Re: python on Mac

Thanks to you both. I downloaded the dmg suggested, and trustingly typed: sudo rm /usr/bin/python sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/python2.4 /usr/bin/python And now my command line and scripts behave the way I expect. Thanks again. THN -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
