Joe-

There is something hot off the press on Mac package installation issues:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/catalog-sig/2003-February/000337.html

Jack Jansen is the main guy maintaining the Python for Mac distribution. The
Python community loves controversy. I only know about this because of a
thread trying to talk Jack out of the naming he has decided upon for his
Package Install Manager for Python: pimp. :)

The Mac issues are  mostly however Greek to me - but pimp certainly sounds
like something that should be explored as the possible solution to VPython
Mac distribution issues.
