Thanks, David,
I tried your idea and it worked. I delete the Python.framework alias
at /Library/Frameworks/ , which pointed to /System, and reinstalled
MacPython. I skipped over step 4 at the python.org website and after
a few other nits, I managed to get my own scripts up and running from
site-packages.
So, any ideas on how to change the instructions at
http://wiki.python.org/moin/MacPython/Leopard, which seem to be in
error - at least in my case.
Later,
Hunt

This suggests you're actually not using the MacPython you installed.
The Python.org build installs everything into /Library. /System/
Library contains the Python that ships with OS X.
To summarize: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework and /
Library/Frameworks/Python.framework are two different Python
installations. You seem to be running the latter while attempting to
run the former.
