[Pythonmac-SIG] Lost among multiple Python version on my mac

I've unintentionally set my /usr/bin/python to a new version instead  
of the original version on OS X 10.4. Is it normally a link to the  
python in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/?

Also, what's the "best" way to deal with multiple versions on Python  
on one mac? The binary downloads of 2.4 and 2.4 go in /Library/ 
Frameworks, but the versions I build from source go into /usr/local/.

I've gotten things a bit mucked up on my machine and I'm looking for  
strategies to get back to a clean state and then keep things organized.

I've also got PyObjC on my machine and some of my XCode project still  
use Python2.3 even after I got Python2.5 and PyObjC working form the  
shell. Do the XCode PyObjC templates look elsewhere to determine what  
Python to use? I couldn't figure out when I was poking around late  
last night.

Ideas? Pointers? Strategies?

Thanks,
-Scott
