Would it make sense to have the main Python distribution build on MacOS X the same way Apple builds it, so that, for example, if one wants to update it to 2.3.4, it's easy?
Sorry if this has been asked before ...
For some unix-based software, it is useful to build it in the normal unix way, so framework building is an option but not the default.
To build it as a framework:
./configure --enable-framework make sudo make frameworkinstall
This will still create a /usr/local/bin/python, but Python itself will be installed to /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework
