So, my understanding is that independent framework builds of macpython default to only looking in their site-packages folder (in fact, this is how Apple's installs works, except that their site-packages folders are softlinks to folders within /Library/Python). In building the appscript installer, I see two options: either create a package that is able to find the python frameworks by using Apple's system for upgrading relocateable bundles, then as the user where to install the software OR install the 2.4 software in /Library/Python/2.4/site-packages and provide a couple of .pth files on the disk image that people can drag into their installation's site package. I'm strongly leaning towards the second option, because its a lot less work for me and I think it offers more flexibility to the end user as well. Thoughts?
