Actually I downloaded python 2.4.2 and install it from source. The
installation appeared to be fine until "make install" was complete.
However, after I reenter the terminal and call Python, it still showed
Python 2.3.5 instead of Python 2.4.2, very confused... Some one
suggested me to download MacPython. So I am thinking about removing
the Python 2.4.2 from my machine (still curious why it did not
appear).
