This isn't OS X 10.4, it's 10.3.9.

I haven't removed anything. Mac OSX 10.3 ships with Python 2.3,  and 
that's still there and runs just fine. I'm trying to install an updated 
version.

If not in /usr/local/bin, where should I look for it on OSX 10.3.9?

I'm having other problems with 2.4.3 that I will ask about and have 
asked about in other messages. That's one of the reasons I'm trying to 
get 2.3 updated to 2.3.5--to use it until I can get 2.4.3 working. There 
are other reasons as well.

I'm not sure where the version of 2.3.5 build that was on the machine 
came from. The one I'm trying to install is from the source I downloaded 
from python.org.
