2.5 is a framework install, it just acts like it isn't in some ways for
backward compatibility (slightly long story). 2.4 is a framework install
on 32-bit systems.

Certainly you'd be pretty crazy to try using either one for real work on
any Mac from the 64-bit era, unless your work involves being forced to
use legacy code that won't work with 2.6+. (No ctypes, just for starters...)
