If I were a more experienced Mac user, I'd probably blush: the  
problem was that I had assumed my Tiger upgrade would also  
automatically upgrade my XCode installation.

So, for history, if you see symptoms like mine, that means you need  
to upgrade XCode.  After doing so, all appears to be good so far.

I'm a Zope developer.  I often have multiple Pythons around, one (or  
sometimes more) for each large project.  Framework builds help  
nothing for Zope, and friends have scared me off from using them  
except to replace the main Apple Python (which I just did sucessfully  
with your MacPython and TigerPython24Fix--thanks!).  Maybe that's  
misplaced fear, but working among developers on other platforms, its  
(mildly) convenient if our buildouts all use the same buildout dance.

Thanks for your help, and thanks to all those who replied.
