This looks like the Apple-provided version of Python. I highly recommend 
that you install the newer, third-party "Framework Build" Python:

Either 2.4.1 from:
http://www.undefined.org/python/

There are a bunch of packages pre-built for it at:

http://pythonmac.org/packages/

or, if you want to be on the bleeding edge, the new Universal (PPC and 
Intel) build:

http://homepage.mac.com/ronaldoussoren

We're just started to try to get packages built for that one. I don't 
know if anyone's got MPL working for it yet.

The MacPython Community is trying desperately to focus on one build of 
Python to support: you'll get more help with these.

Which brings up the questions: Why PyGtk? In general, PyGtk doesn't play 
very well with OS-X, AFAIK, most people only use PyGtk if they are using 
it in the context of "unixy" stuff, which means running darwinports or 
fink. In that case, you should install everything through fink or 
darwinports.

Maybe, maybe not. However, you'll get more support for the Framework 
version, and be more likely to just find a pre-built one. Charlie Mode 
has been building them, and I've built some older versions.

No, it's not. If you really want to know the arguments, there's a lot of 
discussion on the python-mac list, but the short version is this:

We have no control over what Apples does. They have in the past: 
delivered broken versions, not upgraded except on major OS upgrades, and 
when they do upgrade , they don't preserve backward compatibility with 
installed modules.

There is very little cost to installing the 2.4.1 Framework build, at 
least if you have a decent Internet connection.

Is ROOT using python now? cool. Does ROOT require pyGTK? IF not, you can 
use MPL with wxPython or TK instead. It may be easier -- I know my 
builds supported Tk and Wx, but not GTK.
