I agree with David about this. > The official Mac Python should be an OS X application, with an icon, > living in /Applications, ideally with a Mac-standard editor app (the > 2.5.1 I have has IDLE), etc. No, probably not. Frankly, I think the official Mac Python should be (and is) /usr/bin/python, the version that Apple ships with the system. I always try to make my stuff work with that Python, instead of installing a different version, which in my experience usually leads to grief somewhere down the road.
