[galaxy-user] Install problems on OS X with python from macports

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to do a local install of Galaxy. My python version is from MacPorts. I realize that you recommend using MacPython, but since all the dev environment I have uses MacPorts, I thought I'd give it a go. BTW, it does work with the shipped python 2.5 with OS X. The problem I have is that the egg downloading part (scramble.py, etc.) seems to monkey with the pythonpath such that _hashlib cannot be imported. I tried to track what happens, but it is not obvious where and why the path is being changed. How can I safely add something to galaxy's pythonpath and ensure it is not removed? thanks, James
