Hm, that's bad :-(. The thing is, I don't want to nuke my /usr/local/bin/python
until I have the framework completely working, as I'm kindof attached to having
a working command line Python with a whole bunch of 3d party extension...

I guess I'll wait until Jack is back, so we can debug this problem. Hm, even
better: I'll file a bug report and assign it to him...

Thanks for the info.
