Alright, the problem was that there is a single Python version (2.3) but
low and behold, there was a different site-packages directory that I
wasn't looking in.  The installer installed everything to
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages, yet Python was pulling everything from
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/

Looks like the PYTHONPATH wasn't being picked up or is set wrong for the
system?  I'll do some looking around with regards to Python and OS X,
but I swear I build and installed 1.0.4 on this server, so not sure how
it used the correct one before.

Thanks!
