python on mac os x 10.5
I’m quite new to mac’s world, but I’m quite old from linux…
So here is my short note about python on macosx
- Install the XCode 3.0 additional disk that came with Leopard
- Install macport
- set in your profile (/Users/yourname/.profile) the following lines
- export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
- export DISPLAY=:0.0
- export MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man/:$MANPATH
- export EDITOR=vim
- Install port python (with django): sudo port install py25-django
- Install port ipython: sudo port install py25-ipython
More to come…



This is great! Thanks for your post. I am just starting python and this got me straight.
