Not if we're trying to install an Amber-dedicated python version.
python_select, in my experience, will only work with pythons installed via
Macports, which is not what I've employed here. I copied the Macports diff
files into the git repo and had the configure script mirror the important
parts of what Macports' process in building Python-2.6. However, when I ran
python_select after I installed AmberTools, the new version built with
AmberTools did not show up (and I didn't quite expect it to).
There's always the -nopython option that will allow the user to customize
their own Python versions/installation, etc., but since this is specifically
for Amber and it won't trod on the system's toes, I don't really think this
is an issue... At the end of the day, the amber-python works with Mac OS X
10.6. I'd be interested to hear if/how it works on 10.5, but I don't have
one of those machines available to try it out on. It currently requires an
Xcode that comes bundled with gcc-4.2.
Thanks!
