The "python23" package also have an accompanying "python" package, but it's being masked by the one from python24 (fink by default always uses the highest available version number and 2.4>2.3). Luckily you can pass a version-revision to 'fink install' and fink will install that exact version-revision. Do 'fink list python23' to look up the %v-%r and then install that specific one (for me, I would be doing 'fink install python-1:2.3.5-2'. Then make sure you do not 'fink update-all' or 'fink update python'...that would "upgrade" you to python24' python package..
