Not sure if 2.6 does the same, but I thought it did. It certainly doesn't touch /etc/paths.d, nor should it. ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist isn't affected either as far as I know.

A little bit of rooting around inside the installer packages / subpackages shows two postflight scripts, one in PythonFramework and one in PythonSystemFixes. Neither one of them seems to take any action regarding the path at all.

That being said my understanding of installer packages is roughly zero. If I could be clued into where these post-install scripts are supposed to be I can attempt some detective-work on my own.

Thanks,

Not sure what the problem is. As I said before, if the installer no longer modifies your $PATH, then something has changed in the installation process over the past year or so.

Can any of the Python maintainers on the Mac shed some light on this? Ronald, any ideas? Or is someone else putting together the official python.org build? In any event, it is seriously broken, and I hope that someone puts together a new build in the near future.
