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…

I’m just wondering why port list *mysql* is so slow.

It just do exactly the same than port list | grep mysql but need 5x more time.

in Terminal > File > Preferences
change the following keyboard settings:
Home: \033[4~
End: \033[1~
PageUp: \033[5~
PageDown: \033[6~

To write \033 just press ESC button, for [ it’s MAJ+alt+5 and finally for the ~ it’s alt+n

then do not forget to assign the default value to this particular settings format

update: or use iTerm
