[Pythonmac-SIG] Restart confliect

Has anyone else had problems with restarting their Mac when Python is on
an external drive? On my system (8.1 and LinuxPPC launched by BootX) I
have Python on an external drive and it works fine, but... The machine
cold boots fine, but on restart it freezes on the happy mac. No such
problem if it is on my boot drive. I assume the problem is ith the fact
that Python Core is an alias in the extensions folder and the machine is
trying, unsuccesfully at that stage, to find the original. Any thoughts
on a work around would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Adam
