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.
Do this instead:
# Begin File
[install]
install-scripts=/usr/local/bin
install-data=/usr/local/share
# End File
Screwing with purelib and platlib is a terrible idea if you ever have
multiple versions of Python installed, because they will all use the
same .pydistutils.cfg. The standard Python 2.3.0 already puts its
purelib and platlib there anyway (indirectly via symlink, but it still
goes there), so it's not ever going to actually do anything helpful.
