i delete default python installation from mountain lion and install python 2.3 via brew.But i can't use sourcetree again.python seems work ok with command line.

Edit:i mistyped 2.3 here i actually install 2.7.3 via brew but it's okay.i fix this problem via removing PATH variable from .bash_profile. (PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/share/python)

Why did you delete the default install? You can have more than one version of Python installed and switch between them with environment variables / aliases.

We do not support Python 2.3, it's far too old. Python 2.6 is the minimum we've tested with (this came with Snow Leopard), Mountain Lion (and Lion) comes with 2.7.

Mac OS X GUI apps do not inherit your terminal configuration, that's why SourceTree can't see your custom Python - environment variables and the PATH are set completely differently (such as /etc/paths). But as I say, we wouldn't support using 2.3 anyway.
