Yes of course! That's exactly what happened and that explains it. So now
I'm in the embarrassing position of having two parallel installations of
Python 2.5, one that's in Leopard by default, and the one I installed in
10.4 myself which got migrated to the new machine.
Check your shell configuration. There are probably modifications there so
that when in the shell environment, Python 2.5 installed in the /Library
location is used.
this in .tcshrc is what you mean?
set path = (
/usr/local/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:$path
)
BBEdit is not run as a subprocess of the shell, so it doesn't inherit the
shell environment. If you need to make modifications to the environment for
GUI processes, you can do so like this:

Ah, thanks very much for the explanation. It seems to me that the best
thing to do is to move my site-packages directory into the
/System/Library/Frameworks branch and then delete the Python installation
in the /Library/Frameworks branch. I'm in the outer reaches of stuff I
understand in the system, so I'm a bit hesitant:
What modifications should I then make to $PATH? Is it enough simply to
remove the contents of /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ ? When I
install packages in future, will setup.py know where to install things?
The two installations differ in the following respect:
[ElCid:~] jjc% ls -al /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework

drwxrwxr-x 7 root admin 238 Jan 22 2007 Versions
the Headers directory turns out to be full of xxx.h files, do I need
these? CodeResources turns out to be a .plist, I presume I need that? I
know these questions betray profound ignorance but I'd be grateful if you
bear with me. I feel I must harmonize these two separate python
installations or else it will come around to bite me in the future I'm
sure.
Any help?
