This is the third plea I've heard from someone who's gotten
themselves into real trouble after removing the Tiger-supplied
python. I almost did it myself when 2.3 kept coming up even after I
installed 2.4. We definitely have a communication problem.

I found this advice before, but as someone who doesn't have a unix
background, it took me a long time to figure out exactly HOW to
change my $Path variable permanently. Can I suggest that a tutorial
be linked to the pythonmac or undefined.org/packages sites detailing
this process? Alternatively, can the path be modified by the 2.4
install script?
