Well, I've rm -rf 'ed both /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework and 
/Applications/MacPython-2.3 then re-run the MacPython-OSX.pkg installer. 
I get the same error as before: execle(/path/to/application) returned, 
err=22. I tried it twice. Any directories I may have missed? I didn't rm 
the /usr/local/bin/ symlinks, but that shouldn't matter any... Is there 
somewhere else I can look for error messages besides the console and 
/var/log/system.log? Is there a way to run a debugger on it?

Thanks,
