Imageine the WIndows marketing push: "Switch", "It just works"... ;-} I went the othe way, I just bought my first mac a month or so ago, I love it (and textmate and Komodo). So i go to install python and ruby. I find the python-mac-sig is perfect, finite volume (~20 threads for December so far) and Bob Ippolito is right there answering questions. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Browse/Collapsed/pythonmac-sig/ http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig but i punt and go with ActiveState dmg. I must say my experience with trying to install ruby 1.8.2 with tarballs, fink, darwinports was totally unsatisfactory but that's for another group. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
