Your probably using /usr/bin/python rather than the one you downloaded from Python.org. 

What's the output of 'which python'?  The python.org installer places binaries into /usr/local/bin, and also has a script in /Application/Python 2.6/ that will patch the startup profile of your shell to ensure that the python.org binaries are earlier on $PATH than the system install.
