The directive works. It forbid install on anything else that system volume.
It is me. I said in a previous message:

Downloaded and installed. It did an update.

There is a new IDLE program in the Application/MacPython-2.3 folder. 
I doubleclicked it and it launch and quit.

I tried to run the script wich gave me this problem, pop3proxy.py 
from the spambayes project. Error below. I retested with a smaller 
script. the line:

dbm = bsddb.hashopen('/Volumes/OS99/spambayesdev/hammie.db', 'r')

give the same error. I don't know who is concerned with this.

[fbg:/Volumes/OS99/spambayesdev] fgranger% which python
/usr/local/bin/python
[fbg:/Volumes/OS99/spambayesdev] fgranger% python -v pop3proxy.py
