[New-bugs-announce] [issue5224] OS X installer: "Update Shell Profile" script is not updated

[Ned Deily]

New submission from Ned Deily <nad at acm.org>:

ANALYSIS   The script used by the Python installer to update the user's
           shell script has a hard-coded version number.  This script
           is also installed in the "/Applications/Python n.n" directory
           as "Update Shell Profile.command".  The installer is not
           updating the version in the command so the wrong version
           of Python may be inserted into the user's shell path.

SOLUTION   Ensure that the build major version is auto-updated in both.

APPLIES    py3k, 3.0, trunk, 2.6

NOTE       Patch is in two parts:
              patch-nad0005.txt (this file) py3k, 3.0, trunk, 2.6
           and one of:
