This is what it looks like:
$ ls -l
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/
site-packages
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 42 Oct 27 22:40
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/
site-packages -> ../../../../../../../../Library/Python/2.3

It appears that the symbolic link is ok. One weird thing I noticed in
/Library/Python/2.3 is the "2.3" link, which points to a tmp directory
(which doesn't exist). Here are the contents of /Library/Python/2.3
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 35 Mar 15 22:54 2.3 ->
/tmp/_py/install/Library/Python/2.3
-rwxrwxr-x 1 jsmith admin 287552 Sep 5 2003 waste.so*
drwxr-xr-x 31 root admin 1054 Mar 5 21:56 wx/
drwxrwxr-x 96 root admin 3264 Mar 5 21:56 wxPython/
If I try to install PyObjC "For Current User Only" I get the following:
"Not all files were unpacked:" followed by a list of what looks like
everything.
Do you think it may be a group permission problem? In the /System/..
tree everything looks like it is root.wheel, but in the /Library/..
tree it looks like it has been installed as root.admin.
