Dear tutor, I'd like to ask for help with an issue I have with python. My MAC is with OS 10-6.8,
I'm not a MacOs expert but I know MacOS uses Python in some of its tools so do not mess with the standard version, you might break something.
I can't install any new software that uses python,
What the OS uses as Python should not necessarily impact what you use as Python. Usually its just a case of changing a link or creating an alias or environment variable.

I tried to use some plot (matplotlib) routines that were working fine before,
How are you running these scripts? Do you just double click an icon or do you use a commandline? If the latter what do you type?
If the former somebody with a modern Mac will need to advise.
Is there a way to force macports to install a 64bits version of python?
Probably, but I don't know macports.
I downloaded and installed the 3.4 and 3.1 myself, but still the
