Thanks DavidW for the very informative link!
I think my python installations may be a bit "wonky." Here's what I
get when I enter:
Macintosh-4:~ gary$ ls -l /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 238 Mar 11 2008 2.3
drwxr-xr-x 11 root wheel 374 Mar 11 2008 2.5
drwxrwxr-x 10 root wheel 340 Oct 1 16:52 2.6
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 Dec 28 17:19 Current -> 2.6
and what I get when I enter:
Macintosh-4:~ gary$ ls -l /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/
Versions/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 238 Mar 11 2008 2.3
drwxr-xr-x 11 root wheel 374 Mar 11 2008 2.5
drwxrwxr-x 10 root wheel 340 Oct 1 16:52 2.6
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 Dec 28 17:19 Current -> 2.6
It appears to me that these are identical, though the /System/Library/
directory is supposed to be where Apple installs it's apps. Some how I
must have done something kinda screwy.
Also, it's puzzling to me that "Current" in both cases is linked to
2.6, yet when I enter "python" from my home directory, I'm getting
Python 2.5.1.
Last puzzlement, When I enter "python" from my home directory, how
does it know which python to reference? There must be some way it
chooses one python over another.
What's the best way to sort my seemingly confused system out?
Thanks much again,
Gary

Hi Gary - welcome to the list.
This is a frequent question so a search of the archive might help,
but here's my explanation:
