Do you know about the macpython-sig? That's often a better place for
these questions.

Yep. I also have ~/bin/python and soemtimes /sw/bin/python too...

Note that /usr/local/bin/python is a symlink (or a shim, forget which)
to /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python
(or something like that).

Um, not sure what you're asking here.
and what about tkinter? the examples do not work? are thre path settings

If you haven't got Tk installed, Tkinter doesn't have much of a
chance. Googling for "AquaTk" might help (I've never tried it).
