[Pythonmac-SIG] python 2.4.2 source builds 2.4.1?

[Samuel M. Smith]

I next tried removing the old 2.4.1 installation by changing the name  
of the directory
/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.4 to 2.4a

I then did a ./configure and make
I tried to run ./python.exe and got the following error
AlBook:/install/python/macpython/python2.4.2/python-2.4.2 smithsm$ ./ 
python.exe
dyld: Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ 
Versions/2.4/Python
   Referenced from: /Install/Python/MacPython/Python2.4.2/ 
Python-2.4.2/./python.exe
   Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

so apparently I can't run the python.exe without the framework fully  
installed so I did
sudo make install
and got this error

Framework build: use "make frameworkinstall" in stead of "make install"
make: *** [altbininstall] Error 1

so I tried
sudo make frameworkinstall

and this worked.

So the real way to build 2.4.2 is first removed any previous 2.4.x  
builds then
run
./configure --enable-framework
make
sudo make frameworkinstall

this is different from every instruction I have seen. Nobody has ever  
said use make framworkinstall.
So either everyone else is wrong or I am missing something important.

Also it really is a pain to remove the old installation since I then  
have to reinstall every singe package that I installed
in the previous 2.4.x installation. I thought the whole ideas was  
that I could upgrade to a newer 2.4.x without removing the old one.

Help would be much appreciated!

Has no one else actually installed 2.4.2 on os x 10.4.3?
