First step was to decide what version to base my learning effort on, and I decided on 2.6. The problem is, my FreeBSD python port level is 2.5. I know perfectly well how to build/install the python26 port, but a couple of questions first: 1 -- can python25 and python26 coexist, or should I consider deleting the python25 port? 2 -- is there some helper utility (perhaps part of some port) that accomplishes the library compatibility updating, all of the other python updating problems, for when you update? I'd want to use such a tool for keeping my python site-dir stuff done right. 3 -- what's the port which I need to have pre-installed, in order to insure that python26 has tkinter working in it? 4 -- if I want to use eclipse to write my code in python, is the Pydev the correct eclipse plugin to use? Thanks, guys. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknFHYcACgkQz62J6PPcoOm0YwCeKyyivnzfPzzEpVxS/5CBp9gX VrgAnRgt69ym3/sbAKZgDqjzthhkVhNG =edXy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
