A second reason for using frameworks is that they put Python-related items in
only two places: "/Library/Framework/Python.framework" and
"/Applications/MacPython 2.6". This simplifies matters for users installing
"/Applications/MacPython <VERSION>" where ``<VERSION>`` can be e.g. "2.6",
"3.1", etc.. This simplifies matters for users installing
Python from a binary distribution if they want to get rid of it again. Moreover,
due to the way frameworks work a user without admin privileges can install a
binary distribution in his or her home directory without recompilation.

Installing in another place, for instance $HOME/Library/Frameworks if you have
no admin privileges on your machine, has only been tested very lightly. This
can be done by configuring with --enable-framework=$HOME/Library/Frameworks.
The other two directories, "/Applications/MacPython-2.6" and /usr/local/bin,
will then also be deposited in $HOME. This is sub-optimal for the unix tools,
which you would want in $HOME/bin, but there is no easy way to fix this right
