Question 1: How can I locate the Python installation? There a few
find / -name "site-packages"
Will lead you to where SciPy and Numpy should be installed for each
Python installation. You can work backwards from there.
You can do what you want in Leopard, but not in Tiger. I Don't have a
Leopard install in front of me. Check Finder->Preferences, or Finder-
I've had very good luck with "easy_insta ll" It downloads and installs
the right package for your install.
I'm not even sure it's set. I have never had to worry about it.
It doesn't exist by default, you have to create it. I don't have the
format of the environment.pli st in front of me, but if I remember
correctly, you can create it with any text editor. Or you can
download a freeware program to do the whole shebang for you:
Try copying the ipython directory into the corresponding "site-
packages" directory from earlier. Otherwise, scrap it and use
easy_install.
Good luck!

in any finder window. What do I need to do to make the folder sequence
visible in all Finder Windows?
