I would argue very strongly that fink should NEVER be modifying the behavior of anything that is run like that.
If I set my path to have fink first and fink has a FINKROOT/bin/python bin that is systempython, then okay. I would consider it okay to then me modifying the behavior of either of these *) python myscript.py # where my path sees python from fink, which is a wrapped system python *) run myscript.py # which starts with #!/usr/bin/env python IMHO, Anything that modifies (even if just adding) to the system python when accessed via /usr/bin/python is asking for doom and gloom.
