Hmmm....maybe I should have documented what I did last time. Anyway,
there's an "Update Shell Profile.command" script in the "Python 2.6"
folder that gets created by the 2.6 installer in "Applications". Run
that script and it modifies .bash_profile or .profile so that running
"python" from a terminal session starts 2.6 instead of the default
2.3.5 in Tiger.

So...the good news is that I can now run "python minimal.py" in the
Pythoncard "samples" folder and it works :-)

The bad news is that none of my Python scripts run by double-clicking
on them. The 2.6 version of "Python Launcher" briefly pops up and
disappears and....nothing :-(
