If you built it from scratch, it'll configure to go in /usr/local/bin by default, so the README lies. I'd highly recommend you *don't* install to /usr/bin over the top of the Apple Python (or if you do, when you're done reinstate the symlink to make python2.3 the default).
Don't make any attempt to replace Apple's Python in the first place. You *will* break things. py2app, for example, will not correctly bundle applications if you install a non-standard Python to /usr (not local).
