Perhaps Kevin should change the mac install guide to include an option

What's the advantage? I could maybe mention it as a footnote or
something, but it's better to provide one straight path as much as
possible.
i use Fink, not DarwinPorts but i think the situation is similar.
at the beginning, i was using the macpython.org python24 distribution
with turbogears (i also had fink installed (which included a python24
installation), but i did not use the fink-python).
then i wanted to install psycopg.
i could not find a macosx binary for psycopg.
i downloaded the source code, compiled it and so on...and it was a pain....
so i switched to the fink python.
a "fink install psycopg-py24" took care of my problems.
and later i installed pysqlite with a similar way.
and fink also contains posgresql7.4 and 8.0. yes, there are postgres
binaries for macosx, but it was simpler for me to simple fink_install it.
so this is it.
when you only need python, macpython is easier to install. but when you
need more python libraries around (some of which needs other non-python
packages (sqlite for example)), it's simpler imho to just use
fink/darwinports.
now, maybe easy_install can do all the psycopg and pysqlite stuff, i
don't know. if it can, then consider this mail as obsolete :)
p.s: i checked the python cheese shop, and there is a pysqlite package,
but i could not find a psycopg one...
