Nice. A few comments:
If you double-click on the tarball in the finder, it will
"automagically" be unpacked for you.

ARRGG! why the heck does bash have SO MANY options for config files!
anyway, the most common choice for OS-X is to put this stuff in
.profile. I think that's where the Python installer puts it.
Also:

That's not quite it -- yes, it's good to have /usr/local/bin on your
PATH, but for python, you need:
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:${PATH}"
That will put the "current" python and various python scripts on your PATH
If you already have a .profile file, open it in an editor, and add that
line to it.
Finally,
Maybe this should be on the MacPython wiki?
