Windows allows us to uninstall it. I think the only thing it really
installs is the files, and then it sets the system path, so just
delete the files and change your path. Unfortunately, I do not have a
Mac to test with.

I don't know if this is pertinent to your situation, but yesterday I
read something that said you need a "framework" install in order to do
GUI programming with wxPython. I believe a framework install is what
originally comes with Macs and it is integrated into the OS. I don't
know if there is a framework install for 2.5.

In addition, the download notes for the stand alone MacPython 2.5
install say that there aren't as many modules for 2.5 as there are for
the 2.4, which is something you may want to consider.

Did 2.4.4 come pre-installed?

Don't do it. OSX uses the shipped version for its own purposes, and
you'll break things if you uninstall it.

You're not required to remove the old version before installing the new version.

Just install the new version somewhere like /usr/local and put
/usr/local/bin ahead of your other paths.

That is exactly what I did. I don't touch the Apple supplied version.
Now I want to put that latest Python on.

No, the OSX version is like 2.3 something. I installed the 2.4.4
version in /usr/local bypassing the Apple stuff.

Can you explain how that works? If you install python in /usr/local,
doesn't that leave you with something like /usr/local/python? So what
does putting usr/local/bin ahead of your other paths do?

../configure --prefix=/usr/local

Then python would be /usr/local/bin/python.

For bash put this somewhere near the end of your .bashrc or /etc/bashrc:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Then when you attempt to run the python binary it will be found in the
place you installed it first, not where the system version was
installed.

This script works as I expect, except for the last section. I want the last section to actually remove all spaces from the front and/or end of filenames. For example, a file that was named " test " would be renamed "test" (the 2 spaces before and after the filename removed). Any suggestions on how to do this? import os, re, string print " " print "--- Remove '%2f' From Filenames ---" print " "

When doing object-oriented stuff, it bothers me to have to type "self" so many times. I propose that Python allow the programmer to optionally type ".variable" instead of "self.variable" to mean the same thing. Of course, the interpreter would have to be more careful about detecting floats that begin with just a period as in ".5". What are your thoughts?
