Okay, now I get it. I was stuck on the idea that I really only wanted one
python install on the system; in fact, I might have several and can
distinguish between them by paths, or create aliases to do that for me.
Thanks!

Fink is a great tool; it's allowed me to use my favorite editor
(joe)
in OS X. There is a GUI front end for it, too, named Fink Commander.

What Fink does is allow you to install standard Unix stuff that was
developed for Linux using an apt-get type of updating. It stores all of
its stuff in a folder named "/sw", so it doesn't overwrite any standard
Mac stuff.
