Don't uninstall it.
That's why Apple put python under /Library/Frameworks/
Python.framewor k/Versions. So you can have multiple versions installed.
/Libary/Frameworks/ is an empty directory(excep t for . and ..) on my
Mac, and I have 2.3.5 installed somewhere.

I mean /Library/Frameworks

Misspelled it in the post, but not when I searched it. I did an ls -
al on it and got this:

$ ls -al /Library/Frameworks
total 0
drwxrwxr-x 2 root admin 68 Jul 1 2006 .
drwxrwxr-t 43 root admin 1462 Feb 20 14:31 ..
Try /System/Library/Frameworks ...

There it is. I notice there is a directory: ..../Python.framewor k/
Versions/2.3/Mac/Tools/IDE
which has a bunch of files in it. Do Macs have some kind of pre-
installed Python IDE? There's no read me file, so I can't tell what
all the files are for.

Ye sorry 'bout that... Apple's default install is under /System/
Library... Framework builds from python.org get installed under /
Library

That's the source for the old MacPython IDE which is now defunct. Just
ignore it.

Apple don't bundle a Python IDE in OS X. However, the Python 2.5
installer (http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5...2.5-macosx.dmg)
includes a copy of IDLE (not very Mac-like, unfortunately) and there
are various third-party editors available if you want to search
around.

To repeat what others have said: don't uninstall existing
Python.framewor k builds. Frameworks support multiple versions quite
happily, and removing them is more hassle than it's worth. Just
install the official framework build from python.org (http://
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5....5-macosx.dmg), which should
also update your shell profiles as necessary.

The only way you can do is rermove python2.4.4's files manually.

I suggest you to use MacPorts or Fink.

With MacPort, you can uninstall python2.4 by doing
$ port uninstall python24

And Installation is
$ port install python25
I try to like MacPorts but sometimes they don't do dependecies very
well. For instance, I have a newer version of Ruby installed and I
wanted to update a module through MP and it lists Perl5.8 as a
dependency and tries to install it. On Tiger, Perl is already at 5.8
so what the hey! It isn't the first time I have been hit with that
either.

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?
