If I remember correctly, you have to setup your PYTHONPATH envi var to  
include the libraries in /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages before the  
ones that are installed into the system path (which I think are buried  
somewhere in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/...).

(The normal `python setup.py install` command will drop then into  / 
Library/Python/2.5/site-packages)

Also, FWIW, I've had better luck using the gfortran binary from:
http://r.research.att.com/tools

Over the one that I think is suggested at the tutorial (from  
hpc.sf.net) even though they haven't been upgraded for Leopard yet  
(which I don't think they even need to be).

HTH,
