I'm curious who maintains the Mac builds of Python these days. It's not hard

I want to install 3.0 to experiment with all the new features, but I
don't want to do anything horrible to my default Leopard install, and
I'd like to be able to remove 3.0 easily.  What's the most sensible
way of doing this?  Setting a --prefix of /opt/python3.0 , for
example, or just using the default prefix and using make altinstall?

What are others doing?

I tend to use one Python at at time so I don't mess up my installation, so I can't offer much advice. You might want to try installing Python 3.0 from MacPorts--that would be completely sandboxed away from your main installation.
