更改OSX Mountain Lion中的默认python

Question

I installed Python through MacPorts, and then changed the path to that one.

/opt/local/bin/python

using this command

sudo port select python python27

But now i want to revert to the Mac one at this path

/usr/bin/python

How can I go about doing this?

EDIT:

I uninstalled the MacPort Python, restarted the terminal and everything went back to normal. Strange. But I sill don't know why/how.

Answer 1

The sudo port select command only switches what /usr/local/bin/python points to, and does not touch the /usr/bin/python path at all.

The /usr/bin/python executable is still the default Apple install. Your $PATH variable may still look in /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin though when you type in python at your Terminal prompt.

Answer 2

Try

sudo port select python python27-apple

You can use port select --list python to list all python versions available via ports.
