I'm not going to do much other than maybe install Plone and do some XML
and CSV processing. Most everything I need is in the Python stdlib.
Maybe down the road some graphics and web stuff (I like Clever Harold
or Pylons for that... but I still ahve not examined the 900 other web
app options in Python :)
You will definitely need the OSX-specific framework builds - which you
can do yourself, but also install as image. All the fink/darwin ports
stuff is nice, but I bet you prefer whatever gui you might wanna use
running natively, not under X...

All that doesn't affect the above.

I just do a Unix build from the Subversion repository. I do have fink
installed, so some of the external libraries match up there. Also, the
Mac's readline module is really libedit, which doesn't provide enough
functionality for Python's readline module. Having fink or Darwin Ports
available is handy for that sort of thing.

These days, I install the OS X universal binary provided on the Python
language web site. You can find it at
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.4.3. It's more comprehensive
and much more up-to-date than the version included in OS X.
It is. But don't fall for the temptation to remove or even only re-link
the installed version with the new one, OSX needs it's own build for
some things.
