The trick is to symlink the one you want to use in /usr/local/bin. You can actually look at where they are linked by typing "ls -l /usr/ local/bin/python*" at the terminal.
To change the link, type:sudo ln -sf /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.0/bin/ python3.0 /usr/local/bin/python
The above line will make 3.0 your standard python installation. It's just a link, so you can do this as many times as you want to change to a different version.

It's not hard to build from source, of course, and that's what I do...but the binary installer is convenient for many people.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've had success with multiple python installs setting a custom -- prefix.
