    Python on intel osx

    Can someone please suggest the most suitable python for mac osx 10.4.6
    Finding the right installs doesn¹t seem quite as cut and dried as it is for
    linux or windows.

    I¹m also looking for numeric and pyopengl.

    Cheers

      open google, type "python osx" and go to the _second_ result.
      It's http://pythonmac.org/packages/

      I compiled Numeric manually and it worked fine. Dunno about pyopengl

          <http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4...n-2.4.3-2006-0
          4-07.dmg> -- a link found at
          <http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.4.3/> under the heading
          "MacOS X".

          I am not aware of precompiled versions of these packages for this latest
          version of MacOSX. However, Apple's XCode can be downloaded for free
          (you can probably also get a copy, w/o the bother of downloading, from
          the Installers folder on your MacOSX DVD -- but it won't be the latest
          and greatest;-), and it includes a gcc which lets you build and install
          most normal Python extensions from source distributions by just typing
          "python setup.py install" at the Terminal (you may need to use sudo to
          request installation privileges, and/or set your $PATH appropriately to
          ensure you're using the version of Python you want to build and install
          for, e.g. the above-mentioned 2.4.3 rather than the 2.3.5 that comes
          with MacOSX itself).
