The installer _should_ have updated your PATH so that the newly 
installed version would run when you typed "python", but depending on 
how your shell is set up, it may not.

try "which python" to see which one is being used. For instance, I get:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python

That is the python.org binary. If you get something in /System/..., or 
in /usr/bin/ then you are getting Apple's python.

(you can also try "which python2.6")

Check out $PATH to see what is going on.

You may need to mess with your .bash_profile to get $PATH right.

(you did re-start the shell, didn't you?)

I think you need to install PyObjC for the python.org python to get 
appkit (though I'm no expert there).

Do you really need both appkit and wxPython? You may well, I'm sure I'm 
showing my ignorance here.
