And if you do, you can put it in: /Library/Frameworks (/Library is kind Apple's answer to /usr/local, at least for Frameworks) What that means is that you need to install a new Python, too. I think those notes were for using the Apple-supplied Python. But it's a good idea to build your own Python (or install the python.org one) in /Library anyway -- Apple has never upgraded a Python within an OS-X release, and tends to have a bunch of not-quite-up-to-date pacakges installed. Since you don't know which of those packages are being used by Apple utilities, and Python doesn't provide a package versioning system, and not all package updates are fully backwards compatible, it's best to simply not mess with Apple's python at all. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [email protected] _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
