I'm curious who maintains the Mac builds of Python these days. It's not hard to build from source, of course, and that's what I do...but the binary installer is convenient for many people.

I want to install 3.0 to experiment with all the new features, but I don't want to do anything horrible to my default Leopard install, and I'd like to be able to remove 3.0 easily. What's the most sensible way of doing this? Setting a --prefix of /opt/python3.0 , for example, or just using the default prefix and using make altinstall?

What are others doing?

I've had success with multiple python installs setting a custom --prefix. I wrote what I did here:
