I haven't seen this before.  Where did you have to change your path to  
to get python 2.4 back? AFAIK 10.4.x ships with Python 2.3, any other  
version was installed manually and hence requires changes to $PATH  
anyway.

Is MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET in your environment? If so, try unsetting  
it before building extensions.
