Please forgive the cross-post.   I think this is a cross group issue.

I've newly installed Tiger and would like to avoid the dueling pythons problem that plagued me with 0SX 10.3.  It would be nice to be running just one python, but I suppose that would be asking too much?

I installed Bob's MacPython 2.4.1 from http://undefined.org/python/ 
Double clicking the apps works fine.  But when I type "python" from terminal I get python Apple's python 2.3.5.   I'm sure this is obvious to many, but I'm also sure I'm not the only person who starts getting uneasy at this point.  So before I go too deep, I thought I'd ask....

Is there a "right" way to be using just one (or just two) pythons and avoid conflicts?

I want to be able to program from the command line with ipython 

And I want to  be able to program from the 2.4.1 gui. 

And I want to be able to run vpython (requires X11 alas).

I should add that configuring things drives me crazy but I can't live without these things, and did eventually have them all working under panther.  (Unfortunately a hard drive failure forces me to build my programming environment  anew.)  

Any  wise and concise counsel will be greatly appreciated.  Wise OR concise, too. ;->
