Frameworks can also appear in application bundles too, though it may not
be the case with the Python 2.4 framework.  It seems like the
/Library/Python system is a better one to standardize on, since it mirrors
the way that a lot of other software is installed on the mac. (e.g.
/Library/Java).  Also, it seems strange to install into a framework that
doesn't exist.  Maybe the 2.4 installer should just be a separate package,
then.

What do you mean?
