title: Setting up Python in Netbeans
body: <p>I remember successfully doing this countless times before with a bit of trial and error, but after a new reinstall of Snow Leopard, I would like to just ask the Stackoverflow community this for once and for all...</p>
  
  <p>I installed Netbeans 7 (for C++). For some reason, I didn't see any way to install Python plugins here, so I installed Netbeans 6.5. It automatically detects Python 2.5 on the system, but darnit I want Python 3, which it cannot automatically detect. So now I go to Tools > Python Platforms, click on New, and which file do I select in the new window?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I found this when looking in <code>usr/bin/</code>.<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/sBCIl.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>EDIT: For my own future reference, in Eclipse  at least, <code>/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python</code></p>
  
  <p>I found the alias in <code>.../3.2/bin/python3.2</code></p>
