Note that Python can be in multiple places on your Mac. Find out which one is being used by default on your system: From a Terminal window type e.g:

echo $PATH

and you should see the route to python binary.

Also in Terminal to see how many copies you have on your machine try:

locate python2.5

and

locate python2.6

I upgraded to python2.6 by installing IDLE and that put python in: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6

Note this is not the same as the "correct" location mentioned above.

Thank you. This process was 8X more complex than it needed to be. I appreciate you taking the bullet, to make it easier for the rest of us.

Thanks for this post. For all the good things the Mac does, finding things sometimes is a real pain!!

Thanks Gabriel, I have updated the post to reflect this path.

The correct location for the python interpreter on Leopard is: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin/python2.5

Thanks a lot! Had the exact same problems trying to install PyDev, and this cleared it up completely. I had no idea that Cmd-Shift-G existed!

Beauty! I was having the same problem with those non-explanatory "I've fixed it!" posts.

Cheers!

Thought I had updated but guess I hadn’t. That rules out version differences…
