[Pythonmac-SIG] MacPython 2.4.1 over Mac's 10.3.9's persistent Python 2.3

[Bob Ippolito]

Given that, you must be placing /usr/local/bin after /usr/bin in your  
PATH.  That is not the correct thing to do for the behavior you want.

e.g. you currently have this:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

but you want this instead:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
