Indeed... that's what's supposed to happen. Who wants to call uprofile?

This does not invalidate you having a ~/.uprofile/. uprofile will configure your ~/.uselect/ and your environment variables. Your user profile will not be interpreted by python, uprofile turns profile files (from python) into bin/ and env.d/ environment on your ~/.uselect. This may seem confusing, but that's the best way I can explain. Later this weekend will send a call for ideas/call for modules to the dev list to get everyone known with the uselect environment.
