Don't you think it rather point to

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.2/bin/python.exe

(ie a specific python interpreter instead of the "current" (ie more

Maybe I'm mistaken here (I haven't tested it, will try and do it 
tonight though) that this would allow for multiple python 
installations to co-exist.
