title: Install Python 2.3 or earlier on a Mac OS X 10.7.5
body: <p>I have Mac OS X 10.7.5 and would like to install &lt; = python 2.3 on it.</p>
  
  <p>I need it as one of the s/w I would like to try is based on an older version and does not seem to work with the new ones.
  I am not sure if the s/w is wrong (doesn't seem like it) or is it really the python version that is messing it up.</p>
  
  <p>I tried 2.4 (using mac ports) but thats not it so I want to go further back but I cannot do it with fink or mac ports.</p>
  
  <p>Any other suggestions ? I tried to install using a tar file but that gave errors.</p>
