I'd use '.bashrc' or '.bash_profile', because 'export' is bash syntax -- '.profile' should be read by any shell, and tcsh (e.g. default in OSX 10.2) doesn't understand that. BTW this file lives in you home folder (~ = /Users/yourname). If you don't know how to edit 'invisible' files (file name starting with a dot): You can see them with 'ls -al' and rename them with 'mv .dotname othername' (then open with TextEdit and rename again afterwards). If you want to check which python you're using, try 'which python'.
