Tony relay. You reproduced a bug I had and did expect.

Yeah , you are just like I have been :-) Problem is that for some reason Mac 
has a default version which is 2.3 and a user version which is whatever you 
update to.

One hides in /Library/Frameworks/Pythonframework (or something like this)
the other one in /Users/foo/Library/frameworks/

Now there is two ways to fix this and both are no real option for end users.

1.) replace the stock python with the newer one by deleting or renaming the 
one in /Library. then symlink the one in /Users/Library into /Library

2.) Figure out a way to tell the stupid app launcher to use the one 
in /Users/foo/Library - which I have failed so far

3.) build a launcher with a python oncluded - which I have not attempted yet 


My system runs stable with first choice.
