title: How to clean up my Python Installation for a fresh start
body: <p>I'm developing on Snow Leopard and going through the various "how tos" to get the MySQLdb package installed and working (uphill battle).  Things are a mess and I'd like to regain confidence with a fresh, clean, as close to factory install of Python 2.6.</p>
  
  <p>What folders should I clean out?  </p>
  
  <p>What should I run?</p>
  
  <p>What symbolic links should I destroy or create?</p>
