Reinstall python 2.3 on OSX 10.3.5?

moa
Hi there

I started a very long and roundabout process of attempting to install
python 2.3.4 along side my apple-installed 2.3 system. To make a long
story short, I have completely confabulated my environment ( i deleted
the 2.3 binaries and so forth from the system in an attempt to start
things fresh), and now I cannot figure out how to reinstall the base
2.3 Apple python distribution.
Can somebody please point me in the right direction?

best -Nick

Borrow Guido's time machine and prevent your former self from doing
that. OS X depends on it's python being there untouched. They also have
compiled stuff that does not exist in the standard Python distribution.

Back up your data and reinstall the OS.
