Mac bzr dependencies broken after installing latest Python (2.6.2)

Wow, I just noticed that the above PATH repeats the first 3 items. Weird. I'm going to remove those duplicates right now.

Okay, I just located the following directory which looks like it has all of my old Bazaar *.egg-info folders and bundled plugins:

 /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages

I *think* where these things want to go is…

 /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages

Can someone tell me if it's safe to move/copy the contents from the old to the new? Or am I guessing incorrectly about these locations?

One more bit of info if it helps…here's the output of `ls' in /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages :

A different python means a different site-packages (or dist-packages), packages installed for a specific version of python are not installed for a different one (unless there is packaging support as Debian does).

You will need to install bzr for python2.6 specifically. Potentially someone will have to build a python 2.6 specific mac installer.

Guillermo, Szilveszter, can the Mac installer deal with other pythons?

Hi Wouter.

You'r right, the installer depends on python 2.5.

It could be done, but the size of the installer might be increased
substantially (~ x2) as all the platform dependent packages (from the
top of my head: bzr, pycrypto) must be compiled for both python 2.5
and 2.6.
Also I don't know if all the packages need to be rebuilt with 2.6 in
order to work with the MacPython version.

I think the safest bet is to force the use of the default python2.5
installation in the current OS X 10.5 installer, and possibly provide
a 2.6 installer.

Cheers,

There are separate installers for Bazaar 1.17 on OS X 10.4, for Python 2.5 and 2.6 (see http://bazaar-vcs.org/Download).

Could someone build an installer for OS X 10.5 with Python 2.6? (For 1.17 and for 1.18 when it is released?)

Is it still a problem with 1.18 installers ?
