Neil@blackfire:/usr/local/bin $ grep "sys.path.append" zenmap
sys.path.append('/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages')

Neil@blackfire:/usr/local/bin $ find /usr -name zenmapCore
/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/zenmapCore

prefer the terminal anyways.  I was just installing zenmap to see what all
