The Mac os x python 2.5 installer refuses to install

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the installer
2. Select the install volume

What is the expected output?
It should let me continue. I have System Python 2.5.

What do you see instead?
"You cannot install Box2D 2.0.2b0 on this volume. Box2D requires System Python 
2.5 to install."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Box2D 2.0.2b0 on Mac os x 10.5.5.

Please provide any additional information below.
It worked when I installed from source.
Actually Pygame's installer have the same problem for me.

I assume you mean you have the version of Python that comes along with OS X
installed. That version is not supported; only the installer that you get from
www.python.org is ( http://python.org/ftp/python/2.5.3/python-2.5.3-macosx.dmg 
or
http://python.org/ftp/python/2.6.1/python-2.6.1-macosx2008-12-06.dmg ).

Ok, but when I read "System Python" I think of the Python that is provided with 
my Mac os x system.. Maybe the 
message could be more clear then.

The title/message is set by bdist_mpkg. Wiki installation notes mention the
requirement, perhaps I'll make that more noticeable.
