Hi Everyone,
I've done some work to get things running after an Upgrade to Tiger
seemed to break access to the site-packages directory in the included
python 2.3.5 with Tiger.
The issue is a simple one to fix, and there is a downloadable
workaround. The long winded explanation to what has broken is available
here:

Simply put, the symlink to /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages no longer
worked with OS X Tiger. A downloadable fix (which I've attached)
inserts a new .pth file in the site-packages directory that will point
to the old site-packages directory.
The attached file is called TigerPython23Compat.pkg.zip and can be found
with a quick google search.
Cheers,
Kevin
