No. /usr/local/bin/python* is only there for backwards compatibility  
with what previous installers did. The installer also adds this to  
your .profile:

# Setting PATH for MacPython 2.4
# The orginal version is saved in .profile.pysave
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:${PATH}"

This directory has the actual python binaries, and this is where  
distutils/setuptools install scripts to.
