This is precisely the area which seems a bit tricky on the Mac right  
now. It seems the system retains many versions of $PATH, depending on  
what is asking. Modifying things like ~/.bash_profile change the path  
for the bash sessions, but not universally. Things like ~/.bashrc and  
~/.profile don't ever seem to get run, while /etc/.profile do, but  
they don't like to be modified. I'm not sure if I should force them.

Eventually, I got around to modifying the ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist  
which seems to modify the $PATH globally (at least Komodo now sees it  
properly) but the wx installer still goes to the wrong place.

Having been a Mac user for years, I'm not much of a Unix guru either.  
I'm trying to pick it up, but the information regarding how this all  
works in OSX is scattered, and in many cases, just wrong.

I've joined the MacPython list (again). I had been on it a couple of  
years ago, when I first tried Python, but dropped out of that attempt  
at Python because I really wanted to work in a nice IDE and under OSX  
- Komodo for OSX didn't exist at the time. We'll see if they can shed  
some light.

Again, thanks for the input.
