Ned-

I *did* run "make install"; everything I reported was about the situation 
*after* running "make install".  In particular, I don't know any way to get 
access to IDLE without "make install"; what I described came from using the 
version in Applications/Python 2.6, which only appears after "make install".

Okay, now I see my misunderstanding---the arch-dependent executables are in the 
framework only, and not linked in the installation prefix.  Is that the 
intended behavior?  I do put my framework in my PATH so I do have access to the 
executables; but I was expecting them to be in /usr/local/... as well.

The version pointed to in /usr/local/... is the 32-bit version.  This should be 
documented somewhere; I believe it changes previous behavior.  It's not obvious 
to me what to expect here, which again argues that it should be documented.
