Did  you try these?:

http://pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/index.html

I'd go with MacPython2.4 or, better yet, MacPython 2.5, if you don't 
need to stick with 2.4.

What did you actually try? Downloading the tarball and:

python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

Should work, but I haven't tried it. Tell us what happens when you try it.
