Hi all. I'm kind of giving up on workingenv, and have started working from virtual-python as a basis instead (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv/).
So the basic technique here is to copy the executable into /ENV/bin/python, and then sys.prefix will be '/ENV'. The standard Python installed on a Mac doesn't seem to do this -- the prefix remains '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4' regardless. (Custom built Python's on Mac work like normal.)
All framework builds behave as you describe, Modules/getpath.c special- cases calculation of sys.prefix for framework builds of Python (the prefix is inside the framework regardless of where the executable is).
Does anyone know a way to get the normal effect on this Mac Python?
You could copy the framework into the virtual python environment and rewrite linker commands in the python command-line executable to use that version of the framework. Ronald
