You just run the official installer.

http://python.org/ftp/python/2.4.1/MacPython-OSX-2.4.1-1.dmg

Note that this does *not* replace 2.3 which was installed by Apple.
That's a good thing. Instead, the executables get installed to
/usr/local/bin . If you want

  $ python

to give you 2.4.1, then make sure that /usr/local/bin comes before
/usr/bin in your $PATH.
