Comment(by lpackham@…):

 Replying to [comment:160 andreas@…]:
 > just use the python 2.6 that ships with snow lep. Use it with virtualenv
 and virtualenvwrapper so you dont need to clutter your system install.

 That does not fix the problem. It's more that people like to use the
 macports py26-* stuff and also things like Mercurial depend on it.
 VirtualEnv's don't solve anything really. This in itself needs fixing.

 Not sure I like the idea of it being entirely 32-bit, surely that causes
 problems with Apache/mod_wsgi/mod_python etc.

 Is there anyway of retrofitting what Apple did for the system install of
 Python?
