Upgrade Python to 2.6 on Mac
I'd like to upgrade the default python installation (2.5.1) supplied with OS X Leopard to the latest version. Please let me know how I can achieve this. Thanks Don't upgrade. Install ActivePython (which co-exists with others). Open Terminal Type python2.6 When an OS is distributed with some specific Python release and uses it for some OS functionality (as is the case with Mac OS X, as well as many Linux distros &c), you should not tamper in any way with the system-supplied Python (as in, "upgrading" it and the like): while Python strives for backwards compatibility within any major release
