Sorry if I wasn't clear about what I was talking about. :-) I'm using Darwin ports. They work similar to BSD ports (completely different but the idea is probably from there). With that you can install alot of *nix applications. The homepage for Darwin ports is http://darwinports.com/. Darwin ports installs everything to a new location, /opt/local, so it won't interrupt the base MacOSX system. Fink which is an apt-get workalike is also a good package manager. You can probably install everything from there as well. Fink installs everything under /sw (you can change it).
I installed postgresql, psycopg, and python through Darwin ports. The only thing I need to do to make the system use python from Darwin ports over the MacOSX version of python is by putting /opt/local/bin and /opt/local/sbin before /usr/bin and /usr/sbin in the PATH variable in my .profile (for my shell environment). This is very handy, now I will never have problems updating python, postgresql and psycopg because I can update all installed applications (from Darwin ports) with one command. Everything worked fine after I installed those things. The only thing I had to do was to get the svn version of Django and it just worked. :-) Hope this helps. Kristinn.
