[Pythonmac-SIG] Note that the 2.4 installer doesn't install pydoc into /usr/local/bin

This one caused me a bit of confusion, and I thought I'd mention it so
that others would not about it if it bit them. Basically, I installed
2.4 and xattr. However, 'pydoc xattr' couldn't document the xattr
module, even though python could load it. I finally figured out that
the 2.4 version of pydoc wasn't in /usr/local/bin, meaning the version
in /usr/bin was being used, and it wasn't looking at the things
installed under 2.4

I like 2.4, though, the the install was very, very easy.


Thanks,
Ken
