You should add /usr/local/bin to the start of the search path of
you're shell. If you're using bash (the default on Panther and Tiger)
you can add these lines to .profile or .bash_profile in your home
directory:
export PATH
PATH="/usr/local/bin:${PATH}"
export MANPATH
MANPATH="/usr/local/man:${MANPATH}"
This way the python in /usr/local/bin is seen before the system one.
