If I understand correctly, Glyph -- who undoubtedly understand the situation better than I do -- still thinks that there's no actual bug here, since we shouldn't be using the framework build this way, but I'm not sure I understand/agree... > > To be honest, I'm not 100% sure this is a good idea either; it's just that I know Donald Stufft has had a terrible time with Apple system python for several years, and he regards this as a positive change. From my personal perspective, there's a good case to be made that a python in /System should just load from /System and one in /Library should load only from /Library, similar to the way --prefix works on "regular" UNIX. But, this is what we've got :). I don’t mind if the /System python looks in /Library for stuff that the user installed there, but I do consider it a bug that Apple installs system files in /Library because that affects all installations of Python 2.7. That’s what we get for playing nice with OSX conventions for where to locate files :-(. Luckily this isn’t a problem for Python3 as Apple doesn’t ship that (and I’d be surprised if they ever unless they start shipping Python3 code as part of the OS).
