[Pythonmac-SIG] Apple Python using Fink Python's path?

[Nicholas Riley]

I'd prefer not to have multiple Python versions installed, but I
installed Fink Python 2.3.3 yesterday because some KDE packages
require it.

Today, I tried to use ipython, and Python claimed not to be able to
find the package.  Any executable Python script I run now uses the
Fink Python's sys.path, regardless of having #!/usr/bin/python or
#!/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/python
as the first line.  But if I run /usr/bin/python or the other one
directly, sys.path is correctly set.  How can I stop this from
happening?

% echo "#\!/usr/bin/python\n\nimport sys;print sys.version;print sys.path" > foo; chmod +x foo
% ./foo
