Hi, I solved the problem, and I had no need to reinstall. As I told you it was an issue with the python 2.6 interpreter. OS X is using the interpreter under /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/... and I
found that the executable file in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin
was the cause of the problem.
Then I made a symlink to /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/ it worked fine.
The puzzling thing is why the python interpreter under /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/... was not working. If try to run it from the command line, the bash starts hanging (as the
installer), and the notifyd process is also executed and hanging. I checked the if by chance I had accidentally modified the python interpreter under /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/.. but all
the files have the same dates, a possibility is that there was some corruption of the disk in the physical region hosting that code.
