I downloaded python 3.1.2 for the mac, and I don't know how to make it
so that when I type "python" in the terminal that I get python 3.1.2
instead of 2.5.1, which came with my mac.
I haven't done this personally so I can only guess but...
/Applications/Python\ 3.1/Update\ Shell\ Profile.command ; exit;
This script will update your shell profile when the 'bin' directory
of python is not early enough of the PATH of your shell.
These changes will be effective only in shell windows that you open
after running this script.
All right, you're a python lover already
logout
Did you follow these instructions? ie did you logout and then restart
the shell window - ie Terminal?
If so and it didn't work try running the env command
Look for the PATH entry and see whether Python 2.5 comes before Python 3.1.
If so you probably need to edit your ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc
depending which shell you use.
