Looking more closely, one is in...

Is one of these a System Python, or has MacPython shifted where it installs?

I thought that would be obvious: /System/Library/... is the system python. The MacPython packagers would have been out of their minds to install in there.

Technically, they're both "MacPython", or just plain "Python" since the MacPython packaging became the official distribution. But it's still helpful to say "system python" and "MacPython" (or as I say, "python.org python") to distinguish between the two.

Apple builds the standard [Mac]Python, just in the system location (and a few tweaks, like site-packages in /Library/Python).
