I had a few other minor problems:

Some packages, such as scientificpython and pil install into
/sw/lib/python2.1/site-packages/ , though they don't explicitly require 
python2.1. They are thus invisible to python2.2 unless you create symlinks 
into /sw/lib/python2.2/site-packages.

Then, I found that env would fail to execute "#!/usr/bin/env python" 
scripts with "env: python : No such file or directory".
Of course, /sw/bin is in my path, but how do I make that known to env?

Thanks,
