I would like to add that I used to keep a unix/X11 build of python on 
my Mac in parallel with a framework build so I could test a GUI app 
on X11 and Aqua. (I build the stuff myself instead of using fink; I 
never could get comfortable with fink). In any case, I eventually 
gave up. Installing packages that had a GUI interface took extra work 
-- for the X11 python I had to temporarily hide the Aqua GUI stuff. 
Eventually I gave up and ditched the X11 version.

But if you *only* use fink then this comment is irrelevant--they've 
handled it for you.

It's up. Bob Ippolito put it up shortly after he got back from vacation.
