Ouch!  You'll want to talk with the people who built Python.  Try asking
on comp.lang.python: I'm sure that someone there knows what's happening.  
About Python being preinstalled with MacOS-X... um... good point.  *grin*

According to the documentation, they're working at it:

    http://python.sourceforge.net/devel-docs/mac/node23.html

Give it a few days: Python 2.1 just came out on Tuesday, and the
implementors are probably still a little dizzy.



If you're looking for any version of Python 2.x for Mac OS X, here's one
for 2.0:

and on Jack's MacPython page, they have a prebuilt Python 2.1 beta:

Good luck to you.
