title: Python + Leopard + Fink + Mac Ports + Python.org + Idiot = broken Python - fresh start?
body: <p>I have been enjoying learning the basics of python, but before I started reading things I tried to install various python versions and modules clumsily. Now that I have some ideas of what I want to do and how to do it I'm finding that various aspects are broken. For instance, 2.6 IDLE won't launch, and when I try to import modules they usually don't work.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, how would you recommend I clean this up and start fresh? I have read information about modifying the 2.6 install, but I still can't get it to work.</p>
  
  <p>IDLE 2.4 works, and when I launch python from the terminal I am running python 2.4.4.</p>
