Subject: Re: python error
Welp.... none of that worked. (see below) Maybe I should apt-get
remove python. But what about the one I got with curl?

nothing returned? How strange! I know there must be at least one because:

     bmike1@Michaels-Laptop ~ $ sudopybrew install -n -v -j2 2.7.2
     You are already installed `Python-2.7.2`


Do you want me to apt-get python?
