their previously installed Pythons.
Wouldn't it be better to use '--with-framework-name', IIRC I
introduced that in 2.6:
./configure --enable-framework --with-framework-name=EPD
This will create a framework named 'EPD.framework' instead of
'Python.framework'.
(I also work for Enthought)
EPD is still using Python 2.5 as its base, though we expect to be on 2.6
shortly.
I'm not clear on what the name of the framework effects. Would you be
able to install pre-built binary distributions, built against an "EPD"
framework, into a "Python" framework? And vice-versa? If not, then
this probably isn't a usable solution for us.
