Python 3.2 Installed, But Mac Didn't Recognize It

I installed python 3.2 edition, but when I opened wingIDE, my MAC still only show the old edition phthon 2.6.1. I tried to use 'configure python'-enter python3.2 in 'python executa

Solution 1:

Is python3.2 in your PATH? Try typing "python3.2" at the command line and see if that works. Where is python3.2 located? It's probably /usr/bin/python3.2 Try using that in WingIDE and see if that works.

Solution 2:

This may depend on the version of OSX you are running. I did a custom install of python 2.7 on my machine running 10.6.7 and had to modify ~/.bash_profile with the following line:

PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:${PATH}"

You may want to check the directory /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions and see what the full path is to your 3.2 install. You could then modify the PATH variable in your ~/.bash_profile like this:

PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/YOUR_VERSION_NUM/bin:${PATH}"

Solution 3:

trying to fix wing myself, but if you want to just execute it via commandline...

in terminal: python3.2 ./filename.py

enjoy

Solution 4:

The reason is because the "python" shortcut doesn't exist in "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin", which is the newly created binary location. Create a soft link to "python" as a work around. "ln -s python python3.4". Also, make sure that your .bash_profile has an entry for /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin directory. Verify with "Python -V"
