MacPython shouldn't be there. It is a wonderful thing, but it's definitely not
a Unix Application or Utility. I'm sending Apple a note about this.
As to the confusion of two Pythons: I think that'll be with us until at least
Python 2.3. I hope that by that time we've integrated MacPython and
MachO-Python enough that we can pretend that they're one thing.
