macos - Directing Sublime Text 2 Packages to the correct python installation

Question

I just want to direct a Sublime Text 2 Package (SublimeREPL) to the correct python installation--at the moment, it's picking up the wrong one.

The story here is familiar to Mac users. The Mac OS comes includes a python install which it uses for various OS stuff for which python is required. Like many others, i prefer not to use this system python (which resides in /System/Library/...) becasue it is usually out of date and of course it's not a good idea to update it--it is a working python install used by the Mac OS, and updating risks causing those OS tasks that depend on that install to break.

But that's the version picked up by the package SublimeREPL:

Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jun 25 2011, 05:09:01) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 

The version i use for development (and which is installed in /Library/Frameworks/ and symlinked to /usr/local/bin) is:

@ > python
Python 2.7.3 (v2.7.3:70274d53c1dd, Apr  9 2012, 20:52:43) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 

Sublime 2 Text is picking up the correct version elsewhere, except when using the SublimeREPL Package so there must be a setting in one of the config files in that Package that will let me direct SublimeREPL to the correct python.

But i can't find it.

It seems that i have exhausted all plausible options, which, looking through my /Sublime Text 2/Packages/ directory must reside in either:

SublimeREPL/

    SublimeREPL (OSX).sublime-settings
    SublimeREPL.sublime-settings

Or

User/

    SublimeREPL.sublime-settings

In fact, i added the following each of the three JSON files above, with no effect:

{
    "default_extend_env": {"PATH": "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:/usr/local/bin/python2.7:{PATH}"}
}

If you want to use repl_open you could edit the cmd parameter in the config. I am using Ubuntu and it is located in:

/home/stav/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages/SublimeREPL/config/Python/Main.sublime-menu

{"command": "repl_open",
"caption": "Python",
"id": "repl_python",
"mnemonic": "p",
"args": {
  "type": "subprocess",
  "encoding": "utf8",
  "cmd": ["/usr/local/bin/python", "-i", "-u"],
  "cwd": "$file_path",
  "syntax": "Packages/Python/Python.tmLanguage",
  "external_id": "python"
  }
},
