Would anyone care to post step by step instructions for building a framework version of Python 2.4 that will peacefully cohabitate with the built in OS X Python 2.3.

Does it build out of the box from the source?

Patch your config/Makefile of your existing Python 2.3.0 installation (see a recent email of mine on the subject) Fetch 2.4 sources

From the 2.4 source directory do the following:

env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 ./configure --enable-framework make sudo make frameworkinstall

You probably want to add /usr/local/bin early on in your path if you haven't already, you may want to delete /usr/local/bin/python if you want python 2.3 to be "the default", because there is also a symlink named python2.4 that you could use.
