[Pythonmac-SIG] MacPython Leopard help needed

Hi there,

under http://wiki.python.org/moin/MacPython/Leopard there is a walkthrough
how one should install a mac native idle for python.

The creation of the softlink (sudo ln -s
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/
Python.framework) fails since the current directory already has a
Python.framework dir with some juice in it instead of
/System/Library/Frameworks so the above command returns an error:

$ cd /Library/Frameworks
$ sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ Python.framework
ln: Python.framework/: File exists
$ ls -al Python.framework/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   3 root  admin  102 Júl 16  2006 .
drwxrwxrwx  14 root  admin  476 Júl  7 16:49 ..
drwxr-xr-x   3 root  admin  102 Júl 16  2006 Versions

Should I create the softlink vice versa?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Best,
Feka
