[Pythonmac-SIG] Fink vs MacPorts vs Framework

2009-06-30 Thread Dan Ross
I currently use a Framework of 2.6.2 for my Python work but I always see a lot of posts about using Fink or MacPorts builds. Could anyone shed some light on why they use these rather than a Framework? Advantages/disadvantages? Thanks, Dan ___

Hi ! Seems to me there are a lot of python packages that are available through the MacPorts. In the built-in framework, there are only a few basic packages. Fink gives the same benefits than MacPorts, but there might be fewer packages available though it than through MacPorts. That's why I use

That makes a great deal of sense. I tried to mess with pygame at one time, but as you stated, it was such a pain to build I gave up. Leonardo Santagada wrote: On Jun 30, 2009, at 12:11 PM, Dan Ross wrote: I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I can certainly add any packages I like to my

My experience shows me that using fink or macports with python framework create problems with version mismatches and library duplication. So now, I only use the framework because i want to learn. With a little patience and trying a lot (with the help of google), I gradually install what I want,

On http://www.python.org/download/mac/ we read Python comes pre-installed on Mac OS X, but due to Apple's release cycle, it's often one or even two years old. The overwhelming recommendation of the MacPython community is to upgrade your Python by downloading and installing a newer version
