upgrading python in mac os x 10.4

Hi,
I recently upgraded python on my mac from the version it was shipped with (python2.3) to python2.5. The installation was easy as I used the .dmg file. But now I want to use setuptools and I have to create a file in the /usr/lib/python2.5 which does not exist. How do I upgrade this as at the moment I have /usr/lib/python2.3.

It is probably very trivial but I am having a nightmare understanding all these installation folders of python in mac. And the instructions in http://macosx.com/forums/newthread.p...newthread&f=10 are assuming I have the right version there.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Ezru.
 
Hi Jesse,

Thanks for your reply. Yes I restarted it. The upgrade works fine from the GUI in the Application folder. The problem is when I fire it up from the terminal it starts up python2.3. I want to know when I do installations which Mac os X folders need updating to get the application start up from the terminal.

Cheers,
Ezru.
