It's easy to have two or three Python installations. They all sit in different directories and don't mess with each other.
Not entirely true. For example, anything that compiles against python with a bare "-framework Python" flag will grab the (I think) Current dir from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions
This is fine if you are just playing with user-installed builds, but will mask your system python and prevent you from installing such libs to it. One such example is VTK, which has a horrendously complicated build system. You can specify your system python in three separate places, and still it will link against the user-installed one!
But, if you're not doing anything "crazy," you're probably fine. The only example I've found so far is the VTK bindings. I've tried filing that as a bug with VTK twice now and failed, BTW.
