I haven't installed Python 3.x on my machine--I'm using the Python
2.5.1 that comes with Mac OS X 10.5.  So I'm guessing below--I might
be wrong.

`which python` returns /usr/bin/python on my machine.  And `ls -l
/usr/bin/python` shows it's a symbolic link to
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin/python.
`ls -l /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/` shows:

drwxr-xr-x   7 root  wheel  238 Feb 21  2008 2.3
drwxr-xr-x  12 root  wheel  408 Feb 15 21:47 2.5
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    3 Feb 21  2008 Current -> 2.5

If Python 3.0.1 is installed in
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/ on your machine,
you may just need to change the /usr/bin/python symbolic link to point
to /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.0/bin/python.
 (And you may also want to change the
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current symbolic
link to point to
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.0.)
