The usual advice is not to try to do that at all.
Generally it's best to treat anything in /System
as off-limits.
Right, but I meant if there is an Apple-sanctioned way. I guess not?
(I used to do so, but it
caused so many issues with installing new packages that I gave up on
it)
I've very rarely had any problem with maintaining my
own Python installation, but as I said, I always install
packages using "python setup.py".
I guess I'll give it a shot, then. Alias in bash to MacPython, I
assume?
Python itself copes very well with having multiple
versions installed, on all platforms, but you have to
do things the Python way.
My point was that it seems to be a bit of a hack.
Thanks for the advice from everyone, though.
