Thanks for the input, Bob.

The person who is maintaining RSPython clearly didn't have full
cross-platform capability in mind; there were one or two other
things we had to fix via "ln -s" to get it to go as far as it did.

Here I'm not quite clear on what you are suggesting---I'm not
clear on where I should be when I "ln -s ../Python ..."  Somewhere
there is something called just "Python" that can be linked to
as if it were a .dylib?
