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.
