Hi Cameron. I had thought of something similar, so followed your
instructions. Unfortunately, it doesn't work either. I get this
"

lion has done some other weird things with symlinks. For instance
when I create a symlink from /usr/bin/python to
/usr/local/bin/python and invoke the symlink directly, the system
path is different.
Not my experience on ubuntu...
I think were are looking for a mac-sanctioned script.
thanks
