keeping libraries at correct place when multiple pythons are installed

QUESTION1:I have 3 versions of pythons installed in my mac.

1.Apple supplied one (2.7.1) (/usr/local/bin)

2.Macports installed one (2.7.3) (/opt/local/bin)

3.and one from python.org (2.7.3) (/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin)

I would like to add external modules like opencv,pygame.I have no idea where the installed binaries are going and when I try to import them I get this "no module found" error.How to make macports installed python and python.org installed python use opencv module or some other external modules.

QUESTION2:How to add external libraries to pydev in eclipse

When you configure your interpreter in eclipe (either the first time, or by going to the preferences menu) you need to select an interpreter (don't use the auto-configuration).

Eclipe will use that interpreter, and libraries relative to it. If you install new libraries, just go back to prefrences>pydev>interpreter, and click "Apply" on the screen where the interpreters are selected (you don't need to change anything, but new libraries will be scanned for).

I recomend using ports, if possible, since you'll most likely find everything you need there and won't have to deal with any manual installation of modules.
