[Pythonmac-SIG] More on installer 2.3b2-1

[Russell E Owen]

I was getting some funny results that suggested my old version of 
MacPython (which I'd moved but not thrown out) might be getting into 
the act. So I tried again...

Rebooted

Threw out (and emptied trash):
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework
/Applications/MacPython
/Applications/Python 2.2 (old carbon/classic installation that I'd 
left in place last time)
~/Library/Preferences/pythonXXX
/usr/local/bin/python* (except python2.2 meaning unix/X python 2.2.2)

Ran the installer. It still thought it was an upgrade (much to my 
surprise) and still thought it would take 0 bytes.

This time the Package Manager does not run at all when I double click 
it. It launches and quits with no explanation. The following is 
writen to Console.log:

running sitecustomize.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File 
"/Applications/MacPython-2.3/PackageManager.app/Contents/MacOS/PackageManager", 
line 17, in ?
     os.execve(executable, sys.argv, os.environ)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

(the first line is expected, I print that myself in my sitecustomize.py).

Running the IDE works fine (though my 
.MacOSX/environment.plist-defined PYTHONPATH is still not seen).
Furthermore, I can select "Package Manager" from it and get the usual 
error message about the database not found. Oddly enough, though:
- the separate icon for the package manager never shows up in the Dock
- I can bring the useless package manager window to the front (the 
one that comes up after the cannot open... message, just like my last 
report) but the menus are for the IDE, so there's no "Open URL..." 
option available. In other words, I can see a useless package manager 
window but cannot connect to a usable database.

In summary, things are worse this time. No package manager means no 
_tkinter and hence no Tkinter.
