No. If you install python27 and python36 with MacPorts, he'll have exactly the same version(s) of Python available. The only important thing is to call the right python when executing the script. If you do "port select" for "python2" and "python3", just call "python2 your-python-script.py" and/or "python3 your-python-script.py" and the result should be the same on any machine (unless that version of python would not compile on that particular OS, but I don't think this is an issue unless you are on 10.4). > to be able to work on both macs i think virtualenv may be right way to go. > > do you agree or not? No. Virtualenv is when you require very specific versions of dependencies that MacPorts cannot fulfill. Mojca
