Can I use Macports to update Enthought python?

[David Nicholls]

Hmmm... I installed Spyder via Macports and it installed pretty well everything I want.  So why did I bother with Enthought, you ask.  Good question :-)

The only benefit is that the Enthought distro installs very quickly.

Spyder from the command line runs the system python (or python), not the Enthought.
