** On Windows: Get the msi release [http://www.python.org/2.4.2/ here]
** Add the installation directory to the PATH variable
* Install Python Extensions
** PyXml is needed for web services and is available [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6473&package_id=6541 here]. There's a binary package for Mac [http://pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/mpkg/PyXML-0.8.4-py2.4-macosx10.4.mpkg.zip here]
