Sorry if I'm behind the times, but this reminds me of a change I'd like to 
see in how MacPython's installed.  I'd like all the stuff normally 
installed in /usr/local to be installed in /usr/local/python-2.3.  And 
/usr/local/bin/python would be a symlink to 
/usr/local/python-2.3/bin/python.  I like to keep all the parts of a 
package together in one place.

This is my first time installing MacPython.  I will probably move the files 
and make the symlinks manually.

BTW, I'm really happy that this version of MacPython has better GUI and 
commandline support together.
