I think Python remembers the compiler flags used to compile the Python
interpreter and uses them when compiling extensions. The downloadable
Python interpreter has been compiled with maximal compatibility in mind:
it's Universal (i.e., both ppc and i386), and probably works on any
version of OS X from 10.3.9 onwards.
I just compiled Python 2.6.2 myself on OS X 10.5, and it wasn't
difficult at all:
./configure --enable-framework
make
sudo make install
sudo chmod g+w /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/\
2.6/{bin,lib/python2.6/site-packages}
That last command is there to let me install further packages without
sudo. Installing numpy from numpy-1.3.0-py2.6-macosx10.5.dmg worked
well, and I had no problems compiling matplotlib. The resulting files
are of course specific to i386, OS X version 10.5, and probably some
libraries on my system, so they are not good for distribution, but I
seemed to avoid all the usual problems with compiling matplotlib.
