Ah, now that's service! It works fine for me. I would suggest changing 
the altinstall.pth example, though. Python doesn't seem to like

   addsitedir('/Users/kern/lib/python2.4')

Although it will be just happy with

   import site; site.addsitedir('/Users/kern/lib/python2.4')

Thank you very much!
