[Pythonmac-SIG] Using fink 2.2's site-packages in MacPython

[Lance Boyle]

I have Python 2.2.2 working as both the "Apple" installation and the 
fink installation. Included in these are packages Numeric, Scientific, 
and scipy.

Now, I want to get happy using MacPython 2.2.2. I want to make the fink 
site-packages directory work with MacPython, so I use EditPythonPrefs 
and add a few lines to the list of search paths 
(/sw/lib/bla_bla_bla--see below).

I'm not happy. Here's why:

There are no such problems when using Python from Terminal.app. What 
gives?

I get pretty much the same thing when I just copy the relevant folders 
from /sw/lib/python2.2/site-packages into MacPython's site-packages 
folder.

It looks like there's been a power surge in the transporter's pattern 
buffer, Cap'n.
