I'm not sure how TextMate works with PATH variables. My best guess is that if it works between TextMate restarts it's OK.

Hi Andrei,

first of all thanks a lot for the great to you and of course to the others too! LaTeX typesetting runs fine again... puuh, but

Christian,

I just took a closer look at the "Update Shell Profile.command" script that you were supposed to run and I noticed that if you don't have ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login or ~/.profile the script will create ~/.bash_profile.

In case you didn't know, "~/.bash_profile" is the file called ".bash_profile" (notice the leading dot) in your home directory (i.e. "/Users/christian/" if you short username is christian).

If you open that file you should see at least these lines, probably at the end of the file:

# Setting PATH for MacPython 3.0
# The orginal version is saved in .bash_login.pysave

PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.0/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH

These lines will place the Python 3.0 executable files before the default executable files and when you'll run "python -V" Bash will run the python executable in the Python 3.0 folder because there's the first match. The same thing happens when running "/usr/bin/env python".

You need to change the search order because most scripts are expecting Python 2.x, not 3.0 (and probably the LaTeX bundle requires Python 2.x). So you need to change the third line to:

PATH="${PATH}:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.0/bin"

What you're doing is changing the search order so Bash will run /usr/bin/python first, which is version 2.5.1. You'll need to use /usr/bin/env python3.0 in your scripts' shebang line to make sure your code is running 3.0.

I hope this clears things up.

You explained it very well and now I have some clue about that stuff works.
In my case a .profile file was created and I changed the line as you suggested. Afterwards I cleared all "PATH" variables from TextMate and logged out and in again.

Now terminal says 2.5.1 when typing

python -V

When I start TM, open my project and type cmd+R for typesetting, I get the following info:

The current PATH is:
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
Please add the directory containing “kpsewhich” to PATH in TextMate's Shell Variables preferences.

Alternatively, the PATH can be retrieved from Terminal but this requires a relaunch:
After I pressed "Set PATH and Relaunch" the shell variable for PATH is set to

/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/sw/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.0/bin
Is that fine or should it be included in .profile as well?

Christian
