Yes, this is an app I have written. I could take the time to rebuild it 
with the latest Python, yes.

However, the simpler solution seemed to be to try to figure out why it 
won't reconfigure itself. I have OS X 10.3.8 and a clean install works 
perfectly fine. Surely someone somewhere has used MacPython 2.2 on OS X 
10.3.8 and heard of a similar issue, with ConfigurePythonCarbon not 
working after preferences were destroyed.

This is why I asked here.

Perhaps I am the only developer with a legacy application he's trying to 
support. But I doubt it.
