Install Python 3.2.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.8

Question

I have Python 3.2.2 downloaded and have been using IDLE to execute code; however, I was wondering whether it is possible to have Python 3.2.2 run through Terminal as opposed to Python 2.6.1 on which it is currently running.

How would I got about doing so? Would there be any bad side effects?

Answer 1

Sure, start the terminal and type python3.2 . That should get you into a Python 3.2 shell.

Answer 2

没有副作用，您也可以使用alias python3="/directory/where/python_binary"来获取python3作为真正python二进制文件的快捷方式。
