Got the latest macports for macosx from http://www.macports.org/ Upgraded to python3.1 ( learning a bit about the changes between python2.7 and 3.1 ) Investigated system tools "otool -L", "dtrace", Learned about Pygments ( syntax highlighting package written in Python ) Got so much useful information from Wikipedia that I send in a contribution of gratitude ... Downloaded and installed Colloguy where I found the helpful folks on #bpython on irc.freenode.net Learned about and started using pastebin for the first time ( http://bpaste.net/ ) ( found useful information on "Easy Install" http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall and Python Eggs http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PythonEggs ) But if anyone has some ideas why bpython doesn't install itself (or a link) in a place where it can be found in a reasonable path like python does - I'd sure like to know. http://bpaste.net/show/11380/ Thanks, David
