Running Python (especially the IDE, but possibly also the interpreter from a non-standard place)on OSX as a non-privileged user if you've previously installed it system-wide (as a privileged user) may not work the first time. In some cases it will start to work automatically, in other cases you have to throw away the (per-user) preferences file.

At the very least we need to warn for this in the README.

Added a note to the readme for 2.2.1.

Lowering the priority, it may be a while before I get around to all the OSX multiuser intricacies.

A note was added to the read me file (some time ago already). Really fixing this is difficult, and will probably not happen in MacPythons lifetime.
