installing Django 1.3 to Python 2.5 on Mac OS X

Question

Using Mac OS X v 10.6.7 Django 1.3 Python 2.5

I am trying to run setup.py and install Django to the /Library/Python/2.5 version of Python. By default it installs in the 2.6 folder. Need to re-direct.

Thanks, Harry

Is there any specific reason why you are using the ancient Python 2.5? There are a lot of nice things in 2.6, e.g. with. — ThiefMaster

I see that you are trying to change the default install path from system python to a different python version. In that case, have you considered virtualenv?

You can install virtualenv by running

pip install virtualenv

It is much cleaner and much easier to manage as the number of projects and their dependencies grow.

sudo python setup.py install --home=/Library/Python/2.5 This worked, thanks.

Found it:

sudo python setup.py install --home=/Library/Python/2.5

Works for Mac OS X
