I'm just getting started with python, so I'm certainly not qualified to comment on this specific problem. However, perhaps the following page may be useful to others getting started with python:
http://wolfpaulus.com/journal/mac/installing_python_osx The site gives detailed instructions on installing what was, when written, the latest version of python (2.7, I believe), which didn't work for me until I redid everything, following the steps given including those given by Simon in a comment.
