Message85049
For 3.0, the OS X installer was changed to disable the default
installation of the Unix Command Line Tools package, the package that
installs links in /usr/local/bin to the corresponding entries in the
framework bin directory. The intent was to follow the practice of other
Python 3.x installers to ensure that python 2.x and python 3.x could co-
exist. However, with the framework structure of OS X python, each
python version has its own bin directory and the lack of 3.x links in
/usr/local/bin has led to some user confusion.
This patch modifies the OS X installer for 3.x to again re-enable the
Unix Command Line Tools package by default but to only install versioned
links into /usr/local/bin (i.e. /usr/local/bin/python3.1) but not
disturbed any unversioned links (i.e. /usr/local/bin/python will
continue to point to an installed python2.x). The only exception is
that 3.x will install a /usr/local/bin link to its 2to3, which is
currently not versioned. The framework bin directory is unchanged and
contains both versioned and unversioned links. |
