It's preinstalled.

Open a terminal and type 'python'.

I think python was included with 10.2 and later. I don't think it came with 10.0 or 10.1.

The python with 10.3 is actually reasonably current:

Code:
[arkham@flybook ~] python Python 2.3 (#1, Sep 13 2003, 00:49:11) [GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
