Like: > > RuntimeVars: PYTHONPATH: > %p/Library/Python/%type_raw[python]/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH > This is a very bad thing. This can potentially break ALL fink python packages. Let's say this sets PYTHONPATH to %p/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages; what will happen when someone runs python3.3? It will try to load modules from %p/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages which will might happen to work for pure python modules but is just as likely to throw an error. Modules that contain C code will certainly not work. No fink package should ever set PYTHONPATH globally. It will never work right. Why do you need to do this? Daniel
