As others have commented, please don't top-post.
The script from which you've captured a fragment of output above isn't going to
work on a Mac without rewriting. (Your Mac isn't going to like python.exe for
example.)
As to proceeding, in all honesty, the simplest thing to do is go here:
http://www.python.org/download/
Look down the page to the link for Python 2.7.3 Mac OS X 64-bit/32-bit
x86-64/i386 Installer (for Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7 [2]) and grab it. That will
hand you a completely prebuilt 2.7.3 (latest) along with an installer that will
put it in /Library/Frameworks where it belongs and will even edit your .profile.
Good luck,
Bill
