You'll have to reinstall packages if you start using another major release of Python (that is move from 2.3 to 2.4). If you install from source files will end up in the right place automaticly, otherwise you'll have to make sure that you use the binary installer for the right version of Python. > > (Will the installers for PyFIT, appscript, etc, do the right thing if > run after installing 2.4.1?) > > Do you need to set up any environment variables to specify that the > newer python is to be used instead of the old one?

If you use bash[1] is you should create a .bash_profile file in your home directory that contains the line PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/ 2.4/bin:$PATH". The upcoming universal build of will do this for you (at least once I've checked in that part of the installer). Ronald [1] that is, "echo $0" says "sh" or "bash". > _______________________________________________ > Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
