Hi,

I am coming to Mac Python development after several years on Windows and 
I am a bit confused by the Python framework stuff.

I have installed the framework build of Python 2.4 from pythonmac.org.

Questions:
- How can I have Python 2.4 and 2.5 both available? I am developing a 
web site that will be deployed under 2.4 but I would like to have 2.5 
available for other use. pythonmac.org says, "framework builds of the 
same thing do not coexist peacefully." What is the problem with 
installing multiple framework builds? Can I install the MacPorts version 
of Python 2.5 (for command line use) instead?

- Do I have to install the pythonmac version of add-on libraries? For 
example pythonmac has pysqlite2 version 2.2.2 but MacPorts has version 
2.3.3; can I install the more recent MacPorts version and use it with 
the framework build? Similarly MacPorts has a more recent version of 
psycopg.

Any help or pointers to help gratefully accepted.

Thanks,
Kent
