I wondered why there was both python3 and python3.1 in the bin
directory.

But why, when I type...

$ python3

...do I get...

Python 3.1.1 (r311:74543, Aug 24 2009, 18:44:04)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
[1]+  Stopped                 python3

I get the same result with python3.1.

So, no, trying python3 is of no help, same errors as before.
There's hundreds of them, but they start out

$ /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/bin/python3
setup.py install

Any other ideas? Do I have to install a separate Python 3?
