Here is a workaround for installing vmware workstation:

Create a file called python3.2mu with the following contents:
------------------ start after this line
#!/bin/bash

unset PYTHONHOME
unset PYTHONPATH

exec /usr/bin/python3.2mu-real "$@"
------------------ end before this line

Then run sudo mv /usr/bin/python3.2mu /usr/bin/python3.2mu-real
Then mv your python3.2mu to /usr/bin
then chmod 755 /usr/bin/python3.2mu

This will allow the workstation installer to run.

Then move the wrapper out of the way and restore the real python3.2
