Nope, certainly nothing about python added by the installer. I re-ran  
it and made sure ("customize") that all the options were checked, but  
the installer didn't touch my .profile or .bash_profile at all.

/usr/local/git/bin:/Users/idan/projects/aws/ec2/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/ 
sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin

I'd like to make sure I have my system setup OK so I don't waste a few  
days down the road on Mysterious Voodoo Issues -- I can just go ahead  
and put macpython's /Library/Frameworks/..blahblah.. at the top of my  
path. Is there anything else I need to do that's "supposed" to be  
handled by the installer script?
