[New-bugs-announce] [issue5766] Mac/scripts/BuildApplet.py reset of sys.executable during install can cause it to use wrong modules

[Bryan Blackburn]

New submission from Bryan Blackburn <blb at users.sourceforge.net>:

With Python 2.6.1 currently installed and attempting to install 2.6.2 into 
a DESTDIR location, and having a different configuration for the new one 
(2.6.1 built with default Unicode settings, 2.6.2 with UCS4), 
BuildApplet.py fails because of symbol not found.

Full output (building with MacPorts, hence the sometimes-funky paths) 
attached as a text file.
