Was that a freshly opened Terminal window, or one that was open before the install? The installers from python.org by default modify your .bashrc file to put /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin at the front of your shell's search path. However, that only affects windows opened after the install (unless you use "source ~/.bashrc" to read the new setting into a pre-existing window). What happens if you type: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python ? > So: > (1) I can't seem to find where the new software has gone and > (2) can't seem to find how to point to this new versoin. > I've searched Python.org and with Google but :( > [I'm on Mac OS X 10.7.4] I'm on MacOS 10.5.0, and my default Python is /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python If yours isn't, you could try looking in finder at the disk you installed Python to, and see if it has a top-level folder named "Library", containing "Frameworks", etc. If you find a "Python.framework" under /System/Library that's the one that ships with MacOS.
