New submission from Ned Deily <n...@acm.org>: For 3.0, the OS X installer was changed to disable the default installation of the Unix Command Line Tools package, the package that installs links in /usr/local/bin to the corresponding entries in the framework bin directory. The intent was to follow the practice of other Python 3.x installers to ensure that python 2.x and python 3.x could co- exist. However, with the framework structure of OS X python, each python version has its own bin directory and the lack of 3.x links in /usr/local/bin has led to some user confusion.
This patch modifies the OS X installer for 3.x to again re-enable the Unix Command Line Tools package by default but to only install versioned links into /usr/local/bin (i.e. /usr/local/bin/python3.1) but not disturbed any unversioned links (i.e. /usr/local/bin/python will continue to point to an installed python2.x). The only exception is that 3.x will install a /usr/local/bin link to its 2to3, which is currently not versioned. The framework bin directory is unchanged and contains both versioned and unversioned links. ---------- components: Installation files: patch-nad0022-py3k.txt messages: 85049 nosy: nad, ronaldoussoren severity: normal status: open title: OS X Installer: by default install versioned-only links in /usr/local/bin for 3.x versions: Python 3.1 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file13548/patch-nad0022-py3k.txt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5653> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
