Don't uninstall it.

That's why Apple put python under /Library/Frameworks/ 
Python.framework/Versions.  So you can have multiple versions installed.

Hopefully you left Apple's default install of 2.3.5 unmolested as  
well.  My best advise is to download the binaries from python.org and  
install.  This gives you a nice universal framework build, compete  
with readline support.

If you do elect to build it yourself, just make sure to read the Mac  
specific documentation (which tells how to generate a framework  
build).  Whichever route you take, /usr/local/bin/python and /Library/ 
Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python will point to  
pyhon2.5.  Since you already have 2.4x I assume your path already  
contains /usr/local/bin -- otherwise, you'll probably keep picking up  
the default 2.3.5 in /usr/bin.

It looks like Stackless has a Mac binary install as well.  Does  
anybody here know if I can install that on top of a stock 2.5 without  
breaking things?

Michael
