I am teaching myself python and have 2.6 installed. What is the proper

I can download the source and the 2.6 egg. It appears that I need to
configure the egg for FreeBSD. Is that correct?
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
Great - I am sure it will, thank you.
Where does one find all these 'magic' make variables?
