[issue5766] Mac/scripts/BuildApplet.py reset of sys.executable during install can cause it to use wrong modules

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily added the comment:

This problem was caused by a conflict between the expat parser included with Python and the expat parser included with the MacPorts ports of the obsolete pyxml package.  The MacPorts project has subsequently deleted the py*-xml ports. A solution for this issue is to remove the obsolete port, something like:

    sudo port uninstall py26-xml

See https://trac.macports.org/ticket/32090 for a similar case and its resolution.
