Ahhhh OK; this is quite confusing.

Everyone seems to find it so.  I advise Mac users at PARC to just use
the system Python (unless and until they really know what they are
doing).

I will now do the same to all Mac+Python people I know & meet ;)

Though...

It'd be much better if installs from python.org could cleanly co-exist with
Apple's default installs.

Is there some suggestion/patch we could make to python.org to do that?

(I have no idea what that'd be).

How does python handle such coexistence on other platforms (Linux,
FreeBSD, Solaris, etc., I guess, since MSFT doesn't pre-install python)?
