Maybe that explains it. You can compile it witout framework on OSX, but then of course miss a lot of features. I have two pythons installed, the OS X standard one in the Frameworks directory under /System, and mine in the Frameworks directory under / Library. I'm pretty sure I used the --enable-framework option to install the latter. I can't figure out how else my custom Python would have landed in a Frameworks directory. =) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Your terminal is using the shell environment -- specifically the PATH -- to find Python. Although your Python is probably installed in a Framework directory, one doesn't typically put Framework directories in the PATH. Instead, your install may have created symlinks in /usr/ bin or /usr/local/bin to your Python 2.6 install. If, for instance, those symlinks live in /usr/local/bin, then put that directory first in your path and then typing `python` at the command line will launch Python 2.6. AFAIK there are no symlinks at all created, everything resides under /Library/Framework/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin. Sorry if I misinformed; I have such symlinks in /usr/local/bin dated the same day as my custom Python install. I guess I could have created them myself, but I don't think I would have bothered creating a symlink for pythonw, for example since I never use it. A note to the OP: be cautious about replacing /usr/bin/python with your new & shiny 2.6! That is likely to break the system, as OSX uses /usr/bin/python and expects it to be the standard version shipped. Creating /usr/bin/python2.6 should be safe though. Good point, once again I'm sorry for my sloppy information. bye Philip -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
