Using Python on Mac
- by choise
hi,
i want to learn python using my mac.
now i want to setup a python version = 3.1.3, because my materials for learning are using this version.
typing python into terminal results version 2.6.1, using the dmg installer on python.org (http://docs.python.org/ftp/python/3.1.3/) doesn't have an effect on the python version in terminal, but it's bundled with an own shell under Applications/Python 3.1/Idle.app
my question now is, should i use this shell for learing or is there a better way, updating the python version bundled with snow leopard?
i already tried defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Version 3.1.3 or defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Version 3.0 without any result.
thanks!
