I\'m using MacPorts and had installed python_select to switch between 2.6 and 2.7. But for some reason I\'m now getting a \"command not found\" error when running:

Answer 1

python_select isn't a command, it is a capability added to port select.

To use it:

1. List the available pythons to select from:
   

   port select --list python
   

2. to choose a specific port (eg python26):
   

   port select python python26
