Standard procedure on the Mac is to install the python from python.org.
That way you don't risk fouling up the python that OS X is depending on,
and at the same time your own code can use the version of python that
most extension packages are built for.

I don't think anyone is going to be able to answer this question until
you provide a minimal stand-alone code example. Also, the process of
stripping your code down to the shortest example that displays the
undesired behavior may show you where the problem lies.
