While Apple is far from being perfect, I strongly doubt that they ship a
python as damaged as this - after all, they rely for some system stuff
on the shipped interpreter.
But I bet you didn't install leopard fresh, but upgraded? And did you by
any chance have a python 2.5 installed before?
Anyway, without much more information (where is the python framework
located and so forth) there is no chance of being more helpful.
