Once you get a working python + leo system again, move that .leo file (and 
*all* your .leo files) out of site-packages and somewhere else that is 100% 
yours to control.  Otherwise, you will still be vulnerable to a broken 
upgrade, and anyway, once you upgrade to a new major version of Python, it 
will use a different site-packages directory. 

So create a new directory, maybe ~/leo-outlines, if you like, and put them 
there.  And start keeping backups! :)
