It is mentioned in the bin-python-main.m file;  it defaults to 
/usr/bin/python. As long as you can do the following, it should "just 
work" without setting that default.

[bumbox:~] bbum% /usr/bin/python

Because of the way the control is transferred to the python 
interpreter, you can't directly run the application under GDB.  This 
limitation will go away once Apple ships a complete build of Python 
[the left out the ability to embed the interpreter into a binary and, 
as such, we have to execve() to pass control to the interpreter... this 
breaks gdb in the traditional sense].   See the mailing list archive if 
you want to run with gdb.

Try just running the app from within PB -- not running it in the 
debugger.
