Did you do that because you want to mess around with 2.6?

You might want to try building it as a more OS-X is way, I think that 
required a flag something like "enable-frameworks" or something like that.

The python.org binary is completely independent too. In fact, you don't 
need --prefix=$HOME to make it independent either, I think it goes in 
usr/local be default, or into Library/Frameworks if you enable the 
Framework build.

Cool, I didn't expect them to be 2.6 compatible!
