I replied to the newsgroup as well, so it should
turn up in the list.

Not that I'm aware of.

You'll probably find that the MacPython installer has set
things up so that simply running "python" in the shell
will get the version it has installed. Check the version
number displayed in the banner when you run it.

If it's not the right one, you could make a symlink
from /usr/bin/python to the one you want (by default it's
symlinked to the system python).
