So, I know there's a set of links to make, to get the 2.6 version to
work. I'd
guessed that maybe thing thing named "python-config" would do that
for me, but
there's no man page, and the response from --help is merely the
usage(). I
haven't any idea how to use it, not one line. I can't find anything
in
/usr/local/share, either (but I might not be looking in the right
place anyhow).
Tried in the doc subdir too.
Could I get a hint how to get my python2.6 up? BTW, I tried to see
if maybe
just installing the python26 port might activate 2.6 for me, but
when I run
"python" the prompt tells me that version 2.5.4 is still in control.
To get the symlink for /usr/local/bin/python to point at your python
2.6 binary you can put PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION=python2.6 in to /etc/
make.conf and then install lang/python26, or you can just create the
symlink yourself. Or you can start the python editor using python2.6
if you want the old symlink to still point at python 2.5
