My two cents: Don't try to install a new Python on OS X. Just use /usr/bin/python.

What are you trying to do, learn Python? If so, don't mess around with games or any other package that requires you to use lots of extra packages that don't come with the standard Python. The Python that comes with Tiger is 2.3.5, a bit out of date but very stable and a good starting point. Work through the Python tutorial at http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/tut/tut.html. > I purchased "Python Programming, 2nd Ed. for the absolute beginner" by > Michael Dawson because he uses games to teach programming and the > book got great reviews at Amazon.com. Well, games are great, once you know what you're doing. One step at a time. I don't see any pygame downloads for 10.4, so I wouldn't try to use it till I had some understanding of how to build it from scratch.
