Hi,
I've been using MacPorts to install python modules, but I'm finding that a lot of packages seem to depend on python 2.4 rather than 2.5. Is MacPorts generally still using python 2.4 as the default python version? Is there a way to force a package (py-feedparser, for example) to use python 2.5?

Generally speaking all the python 2.4 modules have names that begin "py" for example py-feedparser. The python 2.5 modules all begin with "py25-" like py-25-zib. port list py25* will list all the python 2.5 ones for you. If you see a "py" that has no "py25" version you might ask the develloper or make a trac ticket asking for one. Or even get your feet wet, and try making a port yourself. I know the developers on this list would be glad to help you do that.... :) William Davis frstanATbellsouthDOTnet Mac OS X.5.0 Darwin 9.0.0 Mac Mini Intel Duo @ 1.86 GHz Mundus vult decepi, ego non
