What version of python3.1 did you install?  This does not happen with 
the most recent Python 3.1.x's installed by the python.org installers.  
There were a number of changes included in Python 3.2 (and 2.7) to 
better support building on Mac OS X 10.6 where 64-bit executables are 
preferred.  If you build your own Python 3.1 on 10.6, you will need to 
tweak the build, probably the easiest thing is to only build 32-bit 
only.  But Python 3.1 is already in security-fix-only mode: best to move 
on to Python 3.2 which does not have these issues.   See also:
