[Pythonmac-SIG] System python woes

[Dav Clark]

I've seen a couple of posts now about difficulty using the system  
python in Leopard.  I wonder if anyone else has used the solution  
offered by Phillip Eby here:

http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#creating-a-virtual-python

Basically, this wraps your system (or any) python and allows you to  
install libraries into that wrapped python - including ones that would  
override the system defaults. I suppose this strategy could even be  
"wrapped up" in a distributed application bundle of some sort.

I've used this solution for my own development purposes, and it's  
worked fine.  I'd be curious to hear other's experiences or ideas.
