The fink "python" package puts a "python" executable in your PATH ahead of Apple's. (currently it points to python2.5) Fink's packages generally don't interact with the system's Python, since they tend to generate scripts that explictly call e.g. /sw/bin/python2.4 , and quite a few of them need X11 support which hasn't been in Apple's Python--I think this is still true on Leopard. The boost1.34.systempython package explicitly uses the system's Python. In addition there are some packages that just need Python for scripting (e.g."rubber", which I've been maintaining) and they're set up just to use the system's python. You could try hacking any of the Python scripts in the packages you've installed to utilize the system's version instead. -- Alexander K.
