Some people report issues with installing i.e. Zope3 on MacOSX. If you simply want to start development with Grok give this a try. It seems to install well by bypassing some traps when explicitly linking the new python2.4 into the standard path and the related commands easy_install, buildout and grokproject too.

tar -xvzf Python-2.4.4.tgz
cd Python-2.4.4
./configure --enable-framework --enable-universalsdk
make
sudo make install

Now link it into the system path if you like (this will serve your new python2.4 at the sytem prompt!

cd /usr/bin/
sudo ln -s ../../Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin/python python2.4
sudo ln -s ./python2.4 python

Check your python
