I would check that the default python is in fact 2.4 or whatever  
version you think it should be and not an earlier version.
You may have had an Apple build of python included in this update.
This would overwrite any symbolic links to the 2.4 install you made  
after the original OS install.
Which would explain why you had to change the $PATH
Certainly  doing  a full install of XCode will cause the default  
python to revert to 2.3
