Hi all,
i'm building a local instance of Python v2.4.1c2 on a 'virgin install'

I've found limited prior reference to this "ImportError: No module  
named MacOS
"), @:

        http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/2004-March/010709.html
but, afaik, there was no resolution ...
any suggestions as to what's broken here?
Works here, with 2.4.1c1 anyway.. but there have been no relevant  
changes that I know of.  Most of the arguments you specify to configure  
are already on by default or have no effect.  The --prefix argument has  
no effect, the symlinks are hardcoded to be installed to  
/usr/local/bin, and the framework contains everything else.  I'm not  
totally sure that enable-toolbox-glue is on by default, but I think it  
is.  I used it anyway:

% mkdir -p ~/src/Python-2.4.1c1/_panther
% cd ~/src/Python-2.4.1c1/_panther
% ../configure \
    --enable-toolbox-glue \
    --enable-framework=/Users/bob/python-2.4.1c1/Frameworks
% make
% sudo make frameworkinstall
worked fine for me.
