How do I uninstall python from OSX Leopard so that I can use the MacPorts version?

Question

我想使用python的macports版本而不是Leopard附带的版本。

Answer 1

Don't. Apple ships various system utilities that rely on the system Python (and particularly the Python "framework" build); removing it will cause you problems.

Instead, modify your PATH environ variable in your ~/.bash_profile to put /opt/local/bin first.

Answer 2

I have both installed:

$ which python
/usr/bin/python
$ which python2.5
/opt/local/bin/python2.5

I also added the following line to my .profile :

export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH

Answer 3

Use the python_select port to switch python interpreters.

sudo port install python25
sudo port install python_select
sudo python_select python25

This will symlink /opt/local/bin/python to the selected version. Then export PATH as described above.

Answer 4

python_select现已弃用，请改用：

sudo port select python python26

Answer 5

Instead of uninstalling the built-in Python, install the MacPorts version and then modify your $PATH to have the MacPorts version first.

For example, if MacPorts installs /usr/local/bin/python , then modify your .bashrc to include PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH at the end.

Answer 6

I wouldn't uninstall it since many scripts will expect python to be in the usual places when they do not follow convention and use #!/usr/bin/env python . You should simply edit your .profile or .bash_profile so the macports binaries are the first in your path.

Your .profile should have this line:

export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH

If not, add it in, and now your shell will search macport's bin/ first, and should find macports python before system python.

Answer 7

当前的Macports安装程序会自动执行.profile PATH修改。
