It appears to me that there is not a python 2.4 framework build in fink.
Is this actually the case? It is my impression that a framework build is
necessary to use appscript and other Mac goodies. Is this still the case
with 2.4? Finally, what is the easiest way to get a framework build of
2.4? Is there a binary installer somewhere?
Neither darwinports nor fink provide a framework build.
appscript and other mac goodies *may* work with a non-framework build, but may not work in some circumstances since there is no fake application bundle installed with this style of build. appscript and friends would certainly work with a py2app packaged bundle created using a non-framework build, however, since a real application bundle is present in this case.
The easiest way to get a framework build of 2.4 is to wait until 2.4.1 comes out, for which there will probably be a binary installer. 2.4.1 will have a bunch of bugfixes that make it easier to compile+build, fix destroot'ed builds so that fink/darwinports *could* support framework builds, and it will also have better compatibility with Mac OS X 10.2 (though, as always, if you compile on 10.X it will need 10.X or later).
