I think Bob is enjoying the nightlife of A'dam, something he might
have missed in Berlin... ;-)

Well, if you want to completely replace Apple's Python in /usr/bin
you can configure a Stackless built using ./configure --prefix=/usr
before compiling it with make install.

Otherwise the default should be, as with normal Python, to install
it in /usr/local/bin which you might need to tell your shell about.

On Jaguar the default shell is tcsh. If you use that you need to add
a line in ~/.tcshrc like the following somewhere at the top:

setenv PATH "${PATH}:/usr/local/bin"

On Panther the default shell is bash and you need to edit a file
like ~/.bashrc or so, which doesn't use the same setenv command
syntax, but you better look this up somewhere in the bash man
pages...

Hope that helps,

Dinu
