No relationship whatsoever. I'd say that homebrew plays less nicely with Fink or Macports because it installs stuff in /usr/local, which is hard to hide from the build tools. If you want just to install the latest available version of Python we provide for Snow Leopard (with the caveat that we don't actually support Snow Leopard any more so updates have slowed to just a few packages that individual maintainers want to support) "fink install python" should install it for you. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
