As of Python 2.5a2, python.org python should use dynload_shlib.c on 10.3 and 10.4. I didn't realize that Apple's python was built differently...
Anyhow, if you want to build your own Py2.4 with dynload_shlib the patch is pretty easy. You can search for the patch on sourceforge (it's against 2.5 but it applies cleanly to 2.4 too, I think) or I can send it to you. This peculiarity dates from earlier versions of OS X that did not have dlopen() functionality -- then the next APIs were all that there were.
