Hi Leo,
Good thought on the virtualenv idea.
I've been using it a bit, still not 100% comfortable with it yet though.
Just fired virtualenv up and that solved the issue I was having for now.
Back to if you where going to do a fresh install of Py 2.7 on a Mac
and clear off all older versions.
Do you think it really matters where the new version is located?

Kevin,
If you're fine with a unixy approach to things.
Give Homebrew a try: http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/
There's recipes/packages for a lot of the different packages and
once you have pip running (especially combined with virtualenv and
virtualenvwrapper) it tends to work really well.

Hi Larry + Chris.
Any thoughts on a PPC based Mac running 10.5.8 where is best place
to put Py 2.7.x?
Apple sticks files under /usr/bin
Python sticks files under /usr/local/bin
Most times things has worked so far.
Right now ElementTree is not liking my setup and is blowing up
minidom.
Not sure how or why.
My thought is to wipe all the old PY 2.3, 2.5 and 2.7 files .
And only have the one version of Python 2.7 as this is all I need
on this machine.
Where do you think is the best place to put it?
Or does it not really matter?
I have noticed some developers set code up to look for the stock
apple location.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hi All,
Is there any one on the list that is really up on installing new
versions of Python on to the Mac?
And has time to answer a quick question on how best to do this?
Thanks
