[Pythonmac-SIG] Python development on OSX

[Tony Cappellini]

I do want 2.7 because it's a requirement at work.
I want to have the same versions & packages to avoid compatibility issues.

I can put Python2.7 in a different directory and leave 2.6 there but I want
the 2.7 installation
to be the default one.
