Hi Chris,

Thanks for your suggestions and help here! I really appreciate it. I wound up building my own installer packages mush as you suggest below, which turned out to be pretty simple to do -- good idea!

I haven't tried this, but can you build python from source, specifying an alternate install directory? This could give you a custom build that you could make a mpkg out of.

you might try:

./configure --enable-framework=/Library/Frameworks/MyPython --enable- universalsdk

Then make sure that your scripts have your python in their #!lines. You could probably just built it as a regular old *nix build, too, rather than a Framework, if all you want to do is run command line tools. note that you'll probably need to build all the third party packages you need too.

I've just tried this, and it seems to work, but I haven't tried moving it to another machine or anything. It does try to overwrite the stuff in Applications/MacPython 2.5

Zach
