The custom installed pythons should live under

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework

You should be able to move them somewhere else and try again.

However, I wouldn't touch

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python

as that is the OSX shipped one, don't tinker with it.


There actually is a program to see what gets installed by a package, 
where to, and you can even suppress certain parts. But unfortunately, I 
don't have it installed and don't remember its name.
