I think that the official Mac binary installer wants Python 2.6.x to be 
a framework build in /Library/Frameworks (e.g. as you would get by 
installing the Mac python at python.org). Unfortunately, there are many 
other pythons, including fink, MacPorts and Apple's preinstalled version 
(which is 2.5.something on MacOS X 10.5, so that's not the problem).

So which python do you have? One way to find out: in Terminal type 
"which python" and tell us the results.
