Hi Doug, You can do this easily by using the ports tree. First, add the following to your /etc/make.conf (create the file if necessary): PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION=python2.6 Next, do this: cd /usr/ports/devel/py-setuptools && make install clean You should be all set, and any other Python port that you install will use the Python 2.6 installation, assuming you installed it from the ports tree. Hope that helps, Greg - -- Greg Larkin http://www.FreeBSD.org/ - The Power To Serve http://www.sourcehosting.net/ - Ready. Set.
