Thanks for the reply Charles,
I knew about the project perfs and after spending considerable time studying Bob's reply decided to go that way. I have a little bare bones project which loads and the shell is then indeed Python 2.4, which accomplishes what I wanted for the moment.
In following all the tree threads from where Bob pointed me I went through the module she-bang line, the session setting in bash and new info (to me) such as the user environment plist and setting LSEnvironment for the application. All of the choices were more work than the Wing project perfs and some even had potential troublesome side effects.
It was a learning exercise :~) - thanks again, Lee C
PS: I never touched Python 2.4 and I ghosted my volume immediately before moving Wing - after almost 50 years of this I know better than to paint myself into a corner :<))

I haven't thought all the way through it, but this might be helpful: Put Python 2.4 where it belongs, put Wing where it belongs (in Applications). Make the adjustment in your project. In Project | Properties, the item "Python Executable" can be set to Custom, and in that field, begin typing (it will help) the path to the Python you want. (For me, that's /usr/bin/pythonw for Python 2.3 and /user/local/bin/pythonw for Python 2.4.) Hope this helps.

When typing "python":
- If /usr/bin comes before /usr/local/bin in your PATH then Python 2.3.0 will be used, if /usr/local/bin comes first, then Python 2.4.1 will be used (of course, with sufficient other crap installed, this may not be true).
When typing "python2.3" - Will always choose 2.3.0 (unless you have other crap installed)
When typing "python2.4"
- Will always choose 2.4.1 (unless you have other crap installed, or /usr/local/bin is not in the path)
When running scripts installed by Python packages, their "#!" lines are rewritten to point to a *specific* Python. In those cases, it's whichever you installed most recently. For example, the bdist_mpkg script that comes with py2app.

It has been a dense day as I've had my head around an OOP design pattern approach, so I'm sure I'm missing the obvious with this side track :~)
Having a little trouble getting at Python 2.4 and wondered what I need to set to get such by default. Do I need to reset the whole sys.path each time? I also wanted Wing to access 2.4 in interactive mode before I setup a project, so I wanted something outside of Wing to stick.
I used 2.4 previously but that was through Applications/MacPython-2.4/PythonIDE so I tried copying the Wing folder over to Applications/MacPython-2.4/ (from Applications/) but then Wing comes all garbled still (trying to) referencing 2.3. The Terminal try follows, in turn followed by the PythonIDE in 2.4 sys.path:
***Terminal***
