I'm having trouble getting pychecker to work in OS X 10.3.7

I installed it and don't recall seeing any error messages. In the terminal when I type pychecker myprogram.py -bash: pychecker: command not found

I noticed in the pythonmac faq, it mentioned that many disutils packages install into /System/Library/Frameworks... and suggests creating a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin to the script.

I'm learning unix/linux, so I'm not exactly fluent in unix/linux. I created the link from /usr/local/bin ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/pychecker pychecker

Unfortunately, it will won't work. Did I create the link properly?

Probably. Are you sure /usr/local/bin is in your PATH?

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get pychecker to work?

Create a file in your home directory called .pydistutils.cfg (yes, the first dot is important).

Put the following text (between the two #-comment lines) into it:

# Begin File [install] install-purelib=/Library/Python/2.3 install-platlib=/Library/Python/2.3 install-scripts=/usr/local/bin install-data=/usr/local/share # End File

Now reinstall pychecker.
