Yes, it does appear that the disk image on pytho.ord is defective
(maybe they made the image from an obsolete version?)

I installed Python 3.1 from macports and everything seems to work
now. (I never would have figured it out, although installing
from macports was on my long erm list of things to try).

Thanks guys, you saved my Christmas! I was afraid this MacBook was
going
to turn into a waste of money.

I guess the point here is NEVER use the disk image on python.org,
ALWAYS use macports to install Python 3.1.

At least until python.org fixes it.
