Whilst making Python easier to build on the Mac is certainly a worthy
goal, the point of my post was to demonstrate (in reply to an email by
Greg Ewing) *why* building a *full* Python from source was non-trivial.
I personally only build Python from source to test changes to
core-Python and am happy with the Python binary installers for the Mac -
once they arrive. :-)
All the best,
Michael

currently only supported for 32-bit archs as there was no 64-bit (non-X)
Tk on OS X prior to 10.6 and there are unresolved problems with the 10.6
Apple-supplied Tk 8.5 and 2.6.x IDLE (Issue6864).
