Is that a Python thing, or a slipup by Apple in their distro of
Python? That seems a bit limiting if you can put libraries/modules
where you want, but force headers to be in one location to be usable
(while still letting you install them anywhere).

No Numeric for Tiger.

You mean MacPython, right? Is there a separate MacPython installer
for Tiger? The one I found (from March) says it's for Panther, and
I'm a bit cautious of installing something meant for Panther on
Tiger. Are there any problems running that one on Tiger?
