EN: switched to MAC

I have recently switched to Mac Tiger and finally can enjoy the OSX GUI and BSD under the hood. However I could not believe how painfull it is to setup Python for such newbie like me (more on that later). Anyway I managed to get Django running at least with the development server, so I could have started playing with that.

And the very first deliverable is delicious application easily plugable into a Django project (more on that later as well).

try fink or darwinports.

with darwinports, all you need is:

port install python24 py-psycopg postgresql8 py-pil lighttpd

with fink it's basically the same
(fink does not have a packaged lighttpd yet)

Wow. I just downloaded the source and did a './configure;make;sudo make install'

/usr/local/bin and the like were already in my path, just make sure that it's prepended to the current path statement and you'll run the new version of Python before you run the older version.

gabor: yes, that is one of things I was confused. Which python osx distro to use? fink? or dawrinports? or active python? or macpython?

nathan: this is another option. wow. I would rather not try this one, because I would have to compile other libraries aswell, I believe.
