Hi Russel,
I had the same problem with Python 2.7  and I fixed by commenting out some lines in my bash profile, like this:

# Setting PATH for Python 2.7
# The orginal version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave
#PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:${PATH}"
#export PATH

My python path now defaults back to /usr/bin

lounge:~ lounge$ which python
/usr/bin/python

But it compiles…….


Kind Regards
