It's not really trivial, but it's the only option you have unless
someone else does it first. It sounds like Ronald will probably
create another 2.4.3 installer in the future that fixes this and a
few other issues, but I don't know when he'll get around to it (if
ever, I don't speak for his free time).

I'm doing this in my free time, I'm hoping to do a new release before
2.4.4 gets out but don't promise anything.

In your situation, I would just give up on 10.3 users until the issue
with Python is resolved (which is either going to happen when 2.5
comes out, or when the 2.4.3 installer gets updated).

And if you want support for 10.3 actually testing the 2.5 installer
would be nice. I do some testing on 10.3, but as all my systems run
10.4 and I don't have a business-need for supporting 10.3 it doesn't
get a much attention as it should.

To do that you'll have to build it from source on a 10.4.x system
with xcode 2.3 and the 10.4u SDK installed. Just run Mac/BuildScript/
build-installer.py to create a dmg containing the installer.

It's not entirely clear if the "2.5 installer" you mention above means
PyObjC or Python. If the former, I tried it (using the Python 2.5
installer here:
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5/python-2.5b1- macosx2006-06-20.dmg) and it isn't working. I built it on an Intel Mac Mini, and when I run it
on 10.3.9 I see this:

I should have been clearer. The binary installer at python.org won't work on 10.3 (or rather there are issues and you shouldn't use it on 10.3). I have fixed a number of those issues in the trunk, if you rebuild the installer using a current checkout of the python trunk you should end up with something that does work properly on 10.3.
