Strange. I installed macpython 2.4.4 on an imac this year, and when I type python on the command line of a bash shell, python 2.4.4 starts up: $ python Python 2.4.4 (#1, Oct 18 2006, 10:34:39) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5341)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> I looked in: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/ and inside that directory are the programs: idle pydoc python python2.3 So I tried typing python2.3 on the command line, and lo and behold python 2.3.5 started up: $ python2.3 Python 2.3.5 (#1, Jul 25 2006, 00:38:48) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> So it looks like the macpython install changed the name of the pre- installed python program from python to python2.3. What do you see in that directory? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
