Hi,

At long last, I made the leap to Tiger (all the way from Jaguar).

I started from scratch and reinstalled everything; everything fink went
extremely smoothly.  :-)

I do have a question, though:  I installed python23, but didn't get a
/sw/bin/python, which is usually a link to /sw/bin/python2.3.  I tried
python24, too, and had the same problem.

According to dpkg on my old box, /sw/bin/python is part of the "python"
package, but that seems to require python24 under this version of fink
and/or the package database.

So how do I get a /sw/bin/python that points to /sw/bin/python2.3?  I
can make the link myself, but I can only believe that doing so is asking
for trouble down the road.

Thanks,
Dan

I believe that the "python" package always points to the most recent version of Python available--so in this case 2.4.  Nominally anything that requires an earlier Python will declare that (e.g. have the py23 suffix).
