This build appears to have python embedded more or less correctly, so it now
uses the built-in interpreter when launched with "--script test.py":

coot-0.5:
sys.executable = /Users/nat/phenix/build/bin/python

coot-0.5-pre1:
sys.executable = /usr/local/xtal/coot/bin/coot-real

I wish I knew what the difference in the builds was. . . I'm going to try
the fink version next.

Unfortunately, there appear to be problems with the actual Python modules.
 I'm not entirely sure what specifically is broken, but I have to manually
add /usr/local/xtal/coot/share/coot/python to sys.path, and the module
formerly known as coot_python does not appear to exist any more (but is
still referenced in several places).  So it doesn't look like it's possible
to manipulate the GUI from Python right now, although this is clearly a step
in the right direction.  [I can send more info to Paul/Bernhard off-list if
this isn't a known problem.]

thanks,
Nat
