The 2.5b2 installer is a full installer, if you install it completely  
you will interfere with the 2.4 installer. Specifically some of the  
links in /usr/local/bin are replaced, as is the Current link in the  
framework. Neither should affect the functionality of either 2.5 or  
2.4.3.

The binary installers on pythonmac.org won't work with 2.4. First of  
all they install the files in a location where only the 2.4 framework  
will look for them, and furthermore extensions (and .pyc files) are  
specific for major release (2.4 vs. 2.5) of python (formally put, the  
python team doesn't guaranty ABI compatibility between major releases).
