Just to be clear: I know nothing about fink.
I just installed fink on Snow Leopard, from cvs. If I run fink list, only python25 and python26 are shown. Strangely enough I have ./fink/10.4/stable/main/finkinfo/languages/python24.info. as well as python25.info and python26.info in the same path. I don't understand how to make python24 available as well.
Any hints ?
Thank you!

I generally prefer using MacPorts to Fink, as in my experience things tend to work better and more packages are available in MacPorts.
Looking at this Fink page for its Python 2.4 package, it doesn't appear to be available for 10.6.
MacPorts has these versions of Python available for 10.6:
python21 @2.1.3 lang/python21 python22 @2.2.3 lang/python22 python23 @2.3.7 lang/python23 python24 @2.4.6 lang/python24 python25 @2.5.4 lang/python25 python26 @2.6.2 lang/python26 python30 @3.0.1 lang/python30 python31 @3.1 lang/python31

fact is that nothing is tecchnically available for 10.6, it has not been targeted yet apparently. – Stefano Borini – 2009-08-31T09:39:59.893

Did you install it as 32-bit or 64-bit? From what I understand, the number of packages that are currently available in the 64-bit tree is much smaller than those in the 32-bit.

would that make any difference to the way the program operates? – Mahmoud Hossam – 2009-08-31T04:27:21.053
