I'm not on my Mac right now, but I think that the system python is actually in /System/Library rather than in /Library. If that's the case, I think you can just remove /Library/Frameworks/Python and update /usr/bin/python to point to vanilla Python.
I would try renaming /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework and see if this fixes your issues - if yes, you can then safely delete it. I personally use MacPorts, that installs itself in /opt/local and only fiddles with PATH, to avoid this kind of problem.
