Re: [Visualpython-users] Adding Visual to another Python install

Thanks for the suggestions, all.

As far as I know, Macports doesn't have a version of visual - I gather
from various trac comments that there was a lack of interest. Macports
(which is where I get my Python) does have (almost?) all of visual's
dependencies, so compiling by hand shouldn't be too much of a pain.
