Thanks, David,
I read both your notes, but I am still stumped.
I have edited the path, but when I reboot, the deleted path comes
back, or, in other words, is reinserted by some other startup
process. I read something about startup processes modifying the path,
but I haven't determine which one is the cause and how to change it.
So I am still searching.
Secondly, when I installed MacPython, I followed the instructions at http://wiki.python.org/moin/MacPython/Leopard
. Does not step 4 create a symbolic link between /Library/Frameworks
back to /System/.... ? I followed those steps, and my
Python.framework subdirectory in my /Library/ directory is an alias to
the /System/ directory. So, I figured they are one in the same as
per the instructions.
So I am still stuck

This suggests you're actually not using the MacPython you installed.
The Python.org build installs everything into /Library. /System/
Library contains the Python that ships with OS X.
To summarize: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework and /
Library/Frameworks/Python.framework are two different Python
installations. You seem to be running the latter while attempting to
run the former.
