Why is there so many Pythons installed in /usr/bin for my Snow Leopard? What decides which one is the System Python? When I simply type "python" it is 2.6.1 ~ but this doesn't seem to be the "System Python", why not? How does one change system Python and what are the drawbacks? ...

Does the Mac Developer Program have old versions of Mac OS X?

I'm developing something for Mac OS X. It's a port of a Windows product. One of my boss' concerns is how it will run on older versions of Mac OS X.

is it possible to build an app that runs in 32bit in Leopard but 32/64bit universal in Snow Leopard with XCode?

I need to load flashplayer with webkit. but even the latest 'square' flashplayer doesn't support 64bit in Leopard by default. Unless I use the flashplayer-10.6.plugin instead. since webkit use a pluginAgent in Snow Leopard when running in 64bit mode. it does't matter whether my app is 32bit or 64bit. but unfortunately, the pluginAgent is...

Can Ruby on Rails 3.0 run on Mac OS X Leopard 10.5? (instead of Snow Leopard)

It seems that most of Rails 3, Ruby 1.9.2 can be used, but when it is sqlite3-ruby, or mysql2 gems, then it can't compile, (missing mkmf?) and the latest Xcode is needed. But the latest Xcode is for Snow Leopard only. So looks like the Macbook needs to be upgraded to Snow Leopard before Rails 3 can be used? ...

A Macbook with Leopard cannot use sqlite3-ruby or mysql, so no Rails 3 possible on a mac with Leopard?

I have a macbook that has Leopard (OS X 10.5) but don't have Snow Leopard. It ran Rails 2.3.8 fine, but now when it comes to Rails 3.x, with Ruby 1.9.2 (or 1.8.7), gem install cannot build mysql, mysql2, or sqlite3-ruby, so essentially, this macbook can't use Rails 3.x at all?
