I don't know about "only support". "Hope for" was more like it.
If you want to install MacPython's python interpreter as /usr/bin/python without replacing system compontents the MacPython distribution wouldn'tbe useable on any existing OSX version. That's what I meant with "only support".
Even if Apple were to move it's python interpreter of the default PATH (and I hope they won't do that), I wouldn't be in favor of installing into /usr/bin. It is very annoying when software gets installed into system locations, especially
when you don't quite know what got installed. Ronald
