Currently, Apple uses Python and the CoreGraphics wrappers (which aren't
in the standard distribution) for it's fax software, I believe. If you
don't use the fax software, you probably won't notice a difference while
you continue to use Panther. Of course, Apple may utilize Python more in
future versions of OS X, so I continue to strongly recommend not
deleting the Python that they provide.
Future releases of Python should be easier to install *alongside*
Apple's Python.
