[Pythonmac-SIG] Interactive shell

You need to create a link in /usr/bin to python2.4.

If at the prompt you do a
$ ls -lai /usr/bin/python*

You should see files for python, python2.3, and python2.4.  All of these are
links - python2.3 and python2.4 should link back to their respective
framework directories (on my machine, 2.3 is in /System, 2.4 is in
/Library).

What I would do next is to cd to /usr/bin and remove the old python link:
$ cd /usr/bin
$ sudo rm python

Then create a new link to the 2.4 python:
$ sudo ln -s python2.4 python

Now when you type python at the prompt it should bring you to 2.4.
