[Pythonmac-SIG] Trouble with MacPython 2.3 on 10.2.6

I should start out by saying that my experience with Mac OS X and Python
is pretty limited, though I have a decent Unix background.
I am running 10.2.6 and downloaded and installed MacPython 2.3. I have
not been able to get the PackageManager, PythonIDE, nor BuildApplet to
run. All fail with the following error in the console:
Aug 5 15:41:57 Blue WindowServer[1360]: ERROR!
execle(/Applications/MacPython-2.3/BuildApplet.app/Contents/MacOS/BuildApplet)
returned, err=22
Replaceing "BuildApplet" with the respective application name.
I am unable to find a satifactory/official explanation of this error by
googling and searching info.apple.com. The closest I can find is a
statement on someone's weblog that the application was compiled for a
different CPU, which seems unlikely to me (in case it really does
matter, I am running a G3 300 Mhz).
I am trying to run a Tkinter app (Pyla, a fax client for HylaFAX), and
downloaded MacPython 2.3 when I found out the 10.2 built-in python
didn't support Tkinter.
I the course of trying to get this to work, I have also installed
TclTkAquaBI-8.4.2.0.
While I suppose it I could give compiling from scratch a go, I am
reluctant since I need to deploy this on all the Macs in the company I
set this up for, and having pretty installers always makes the client
happy. I am not too comfortable building an installer for Mac OS X
(unless someone has a recipe for doing it)
Can anyone help me out? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Adam
