I would double-check that the file

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/__init__.py

is the same as from the source that you built. That file in the
scipy-0.5.2.tar.gz that I just downloaded does not have the line that is causing
the error. Most likely, you should delete the directory

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/

and re-install from the source that you have (provided that it does not also
have the erroneous "del lib" line).
