[Pythonmac-SIG] How to install latest 2.5 in OS X 10.4?

Hmm, I'm not sure why that appeared twice.  But anyway, possibly
answering my own question...

I poked around via the instructions for 10.5, and found
<http://pythonmac.org/packages/py25-fat/>, which leads to a 2.5
installer that claims to work on 10.3.9 and later.  So I'm trying that
now...

Nuts.  This isn't the latest 2.5, either; it appears to be 2.5.0 (from 
September 2006).  I know that our app takes advantages of some bug fixes 
in later versions of wx, at the very least, and who knows whether it 
also needs something fixed in Python itself between 2.5.0 and 2.5.4.

...

Aha, it looks like if I ignore all the "Mac" links directly off of 
python.org, and instead go to the Download page and follow the "Python 
2.5.2" link (the latest 2.5 release listed there), and from there jump 
to the 2.5.4 page which the download page failed to list, I finally get 
to here <http://python.org/download/releases/2.5.4/>, which links to a 
Universal installer for 2.5.4.  I'll try that next.

Best,
