PPC G5, Mac OS X 10.5.6

Installing from source for my usual python (EPD Py25 4.1.30101) went  
smoothly and numpy.test() passed.

Installing from the OS X installer for python.org was uneventful, but  
when I tried to run the usual tests, I got

I guess EPD python already has nose, but python.org does not?
