[Pythonmac-SIG] 2.3 vs 2.4

[Robertson Holt]

Ok, right

I thought ApplePython = MacPython

and got confused by this paragraph on the MacPython site, NOT python.org

"The downside of Apple including 2.3 is that running MacPython 2.3.3
on Mac OS X 10.3 is a bit of a problem: when you install the full
MacPython 2.3.3 distribution (the one labelled here as MacPython 2.3.3
for 10.2) the two installations may get confused when you build
extension modules. We hope to solve this for 2.3.4, and in the mean
time you can visit the FAQ for some workarounds if you really need
2.3."

from (http://homepages.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython/macpython-osx.html)

Which I assumed went for 2.4  as well, and followed the instructions
from the Uninstall page.

"Remove /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework and everything in it;
remove /Applications/MacPython-2.3 and everything in it;"

Which I deleted from the finder.

I had already grabbed the binaries from python.org, so I missed the
"As an almost complete MacPython 2.3 installation is already included
in Panther by Apple the only thing you need is the MacPython 2.3 for
Panther addons installer"
on the 'Download' page of MacPython.

I'll update later with the Fixes.


Thanks to all for the help.
