This is the third plea I've heard from someone who's gotten themselves into real trouble after removing the Tiger-supplied python.  I almost did it myself when 2.3 kept coming up even after I installed 2.4.  We definitely have a communication problem.

I found this advice before, but as someone who doesn't have a unix background, it took me a long time to figure out exactly HOW to change my $Path variable permanently.  Can I suggest that a tutorial be linked to the pythonmac or undefined.org/packages sites detailing this process?  Alternatively, can the path be modified by the 2.4 install script?
