Perhaps, but this is not obvious.  The main download page
<http://python.org/download/> says:  "_Python 2.3 OS X 10.2 installer_
(requires admin privileges -- see _MacPython download page_ for
details). Note that as of the 2.4 Python release, the Mac OS X
installer is still at version 2.3."  The first phrase does link to the
2.3 installer as suggested.

If you click through to the 2.4.1-specific page, however, there is an
up-to-date Mac OS X installer.

Perhaps someone should correct the main download page?
