How do I uninstall python from OSX Leopard so that I can use the MacPorts version?
Don't. Apple ships various system utilities that rely on the system Python (and particularly the Python "framework" build); removing it will cause you problems.
Instead, modify your PATH environ variable in your ~/.bash_profile to put /opt/local/bin first.
I have both installed:
$ which python/usr/bin/python$ which python2.5/opt/local/bin/python2.5I also added the following line to my .profile:
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
Use the python_select port to switch python interpreters.
sudo port install python25sudo port install python_selectsudo python_select python25This will symlink /opt/local/bin/python to the selected version. Then export PATH as described above.
