How to upgrade Apples python installation in Mac OS X 10.3 from

Thanks, interesting. But does anybody know how this will effect
pythonw (e.g. for use with wxPython)?
Admittingly I'm a bit hesitant to try out.
The title is incorrect, it doesn't upgrade anything. It installs a
new Python that is entirely separate from the existing installation.
/usr/local/bin/python is Python 2.4.0
/usr/bin/python is Python 2.3.0
/usr/local/bin/pythonw is Python 2.4.0
/usr/bin/pythonw is Python 2.3.0
Sure, I realised that we are dealing here with a fresh installation,
but wasn't aware that this will include the pythonw framework. I guess
your explicit statement is enough for people like me to understand ;-).
I'll try it out this afternoon.
The only "upgrade" is the change to the PATH environment variable,
which prioritizes /usr/local/bin over anything else when looking for
what to execute if a full path isn't specified. Your wxPython for
Python 2.3.0 is still there, and will be available from
/usr/bin/pythonw. Of course, it won't be available from Python 2.4.0
unless you compile and install such a version of wxPython.
Alas, this has to wait until wxPython will be upgraded.
Thanks Bob and Robert,
Christian
