Ok a short question:

Is there any SIMPLE software with a GUI, that lets me manage my pythonpath, path python version in mac?

So I could set my Python, pythonpath and python version i want to use.

Thanks!

@ katrielalex and S.Lott :

I had a very nightmare with installing modules in python and as pointed out correctly in another question the reason is that I have a Mac with 2 Pythons installed:

One preinstalled by Apple in /usr/bin One from python.org in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/x.y

So now every time I hit easy_install It installs it to Apples pre installed.

And I really came close to the solution, but now I figured out (again!) it wont work.

I just would like to have a simple solution. Where I can say:

  1. Which is my main python I am using (.org or buildin). The one that if I run any code will be used.
  2. Be able to tell easy_install where to install my modules (preferably in both, just in case)

Thats why a texteditor did not work for me until now.

And I really like python, but got really, really annoyed by dealing with that basic problem every time.

If you could tell me step-by-step explanation what I have to do to achieve this. This would be a great day in my year.

Thanks again!

This is a bit of a niche market! If you're technically competent enough to know what a PYTHONPATH is, you should probably be able to Google how to set environment variables on OSX. It requires editing a text file.

@MacPython: that is a different question, one which you have already asked and and for which you received an excellent answer: stackoverflow.com/questions/3566546/… =) The gist was that you need to use the right easy-install. This is not a configuration option; you are running the wrong program.
