It differs from MacOSX, because MacOSX only comes with one
Python installed. A lot of the problems go away if you install
another one, but things aren't set up that way by default.

That's probably true. I was wondering recently whether there
should be some way to specify which version of a module you
want when you import it, e.g.

   import fooble[3]

which means you want a fooble with API version 3 or something
compatible with it.
