BBEdit Configuration

After installing Python 2.6 in Mac OS X, I had problems with BBEdit not finding the right version of Python. It kept running an old 2.5 version.

I finally tracked down the BBEdit documentation, http://pine.barebones.com/manual/BBEdit_9_User_Manual.pdf.

Found this: "BBEdit expects to find Python in /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, or /sw/bin. If you have installed Python elsewhere, you must create a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin pointing to your copy of Python in order to use pydoc and the Python debugger."

Checked in /usr/bin and found an old Python there. I think Fink did that. Removed it and BBEdit is much happier. As is Komodo Edit.

    The BBEdit manual is actually pretty trivial to track down: just go to the Help menu, and choose 'User Manual'.
