You need to compile Python 3 yourself. It will then automatically call setup.py to create all the extension modules. Just unpack the tarball anywhere and use the following commands Python 3 is automatically installed as python3.0, so you don't need to worry about overwriting the default python on the system. ./configure --enable-framework make sudo make install more complete instructions are in the Mac/README file, except substitute "Python 3.0" everywhere it says "MacPython 2.6". You will probably need to install a whole bunch of packages to compile it. configure will tell you about them. MacPorts (www.macports.org) and fink (www.finkproject.org) provide an easy way to get them. > Regards, > Vladimír Župka > vzu...@volny.cz > > > > > > > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > >
