You can download a Mac installer for Python 2.4.1 here:
  http://undefined.org/python/

If you're on Tiger (OS X 10.4), you should also install the 
TigerPython24Fix from that page.

There are a number of prebuilt Mac package binaries here (for example, 
PIL, wxPython, matplotlib):
  http://pythonmac.org/packages/
 
There is no Python 2.4.2 installer yet -- I think that's because people 
are busy working on the Mac-Intel-PPC ("Universal Binary") port of 
Python.
