[Twisted-Python] Installation problems

You can either just untar the twisted to someplace like 
/opt/local/Twisted and add that dir to your PYTHONPATH everywhere, or 
use darwinports to install. If you choose darwinports the instance of 
python it installs is in /opt/local, and the default one is in /usr/bin 
or something so you'll have to do some fiddling to use the  python it 
installs by default.  I choose the PYTHONPATH way myself, I like to just 
be able to get the latest changes to twisted via subversion or what not 
and keep all of the documentation and files together.

I have not tried to use the setup file, never really found a need for it.

Hope this helps somewhat.
