I've got a Snow Leopard buildslave I'm trying to debug. So I thought I'd try Python 2.7 on it. Normally, I advise people to never try to install a different Python on a Mac, as it's too embedded in the OS to do safely, without a great deal of domain knowledge. But here, I figured I could always wipe the disk and start over without too much loss.
So I ran the installer, and tried a few things, and it didn't solve my buildbot problems. So I decided to go back to the original System python. But now I find that the installer has put the 2.7 Python on my PATH?!? It does this apparently by hacking ~/.bash_profile. In there, there's a line saying The original version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave a file which doesn't seem to exist. So, why didn't I notice myself checking the checkbox to do this in the first place, and where is my original .bash_profile file?
