[Pythonmac-SIG] Python PyGame GTK SQLAlchemy on Leopard

[Chris Van Bael]

Hi,

some simple questions:
- if I installed another Python, how can I start it?  Whenever I open
a terminal and type "python", I get Python 2.5.1, which I assume is
the Python from Apple.
- On Windows there is the directory /Lib/site-packages, I can't find
this one on my Mac.

Spotlight isn't much help there either, do I have to change anything
in it so that it will find those directories?

Thanks,

Chris
