This mailing list is for help in learning the programming language 
Python. You would be better off asking for help on some Apple Macintosh 
forum:

"I've accidentally trashed the system Python 2.5, how do I reinstall it?"

"How do I install Python 2.6 or 2.7 without trashing the system Python?"

You'll need to mention what version of Mac OS you're running.

If the Mac forum can't help, the general purpose Python forum might have 
some Mac users who can help. Try the python-list at python.org mailing 
list, or if you prefer Usenet, comp.lang.python.

Good luck!
