That would install these files:
/usr/local/bin/python
/usr/local/bin/python2.4
/usr/local/bin/pydoc
/usr/local/bin/idle
/usr/local/bin/smptd.py
/usr/local/man/man1/python.1

And these directories:
/usr/local/include/python2.4
/usr/local/lib/python2.4

Note that if you have since installed a framework build of Python,  
then /usr/local/bin/python and /usr/local/bin/python2.4 have already  
been replaced and you should not delete them.
