issues changing default version when updating Python on Mac
- by Emma
I have a MacBook that came with Python 2.5 installed. I need use a newer version, so I downloaded 3.1 and installed it, then ran the "Update Profile Script" that came with it, which is supposed to change the default version of Python to the one I downloaded. It appeared to run fine and said process completed, but it didn't work. When I type "python" into the terminal it displays version 2.5, and I still can't install pygame, which requires at least Python 2.6.
When I do vi .profile I get this:
export PATH=.:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
export MANPATH=/opt/local/man:$MANPATH
Setting PATH for Python 3.1
The orginal version is saved in .profile.pysave
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH

".profile" 6L, 251C
So it looks like the script did do something, but I don't know enough bash script to understand what. Does anyone know what the issue could be or how to fix it?
Thanks a lot!
