You should probably use my packages or source for bringing Python 2.4 
features (OSA, LaunchServices) into Python 2.3.  When building 
packages, it will build decimal, subprocess, OSA, QuickTime, etc. into 
separate packages (so you can cherry-pick if you really want to) but it 
also builds a metapackage that references them all so you can install 
in one fell swoop (which I would recommend, as the other additions are 
nice to have).
