[Pythonmac-SIG] build on OS X 10.6.2

[Norman Khine]

Hello,

I have three python versions, one that came with OS X, one from
MacPorts and one which I compiled with:

./configure --prefix=$HOME

All works fine, but I don't understand when I change my .profile so that

export PYTHON=$HOME/bin/python

and try to build for example swftools, swftools only finds the MacPorts python

How do I force swftools to use the $HOME/bin/python python version?

I tried ./configure --prefix=$HOME PYTHON=$HOME/bin/python

but it did not work!

Thanks

Norman
