I am running the standard Apple Python install.

>(is MacPython the same thing as the python.org version, btw?

I *guess* it is python.org's classic compiled with --enable-framework
and package as a .dmg install file.

I know for a fact that you can also install it from the sources
in Mac OSX and compile it without --enable-framework, in this case,
it will be installed in the standard /usr/local/src (supposing no
--prefix override).

I found some pros/cons explanations here [1].

By all means, welcome to the club. ;o)
