Ned Deily <nad at acm.org> added the comment:
/etc is definitely not the right place to put files for OS X framework
builds; if necessary, an etc directory could be added under the
framework version directory as a sibling of bin and lib. It's also very
un-OS X like to be putting things into ~/.python and ~/.local
directories; the usual place would be in somewhere ~/Library, possibly
~/Library/Application Support/Python or ~/Library/Frameworks. Keep in
mind that it's much more likely on OS X to not only have muitiple
versions of Python installed but also more than one instance of the
*same* version, for instance, on 10.6, an Apple-supplied 2.6.2 and a
python.org 2.6.4. Some thought should be given to locations for the
files for Unix-style (non-framework) builds.
(Adding Ronald.)
