Thank you, both Erik and Joe, for the suggestions. I have recently
executed a:
"fink remove python"
to see wha happens. So far, the few executables that I use via fink
still work just fine (primarily xsltproc from the {unstable} libxslt
which requires libxml2 which was (at install time) originally dependent
on python due to xfree86-base dependency).
My guess is that if I need to install something else that has such
dependencies on python, I may find out quite quick -- and at that point,
I'll experiment with both the environment path (pointing to
/usr/local/bin version of python) and also take a look at editing the
scripts ("#! /usr/bin/env python").
Cheers,
-Brendan
