The quick summary: if you link against python you're extension will work with just the variant of python that you linked against. If you do not link against python (as distutils does with current version of python) you can use extensions with multiple variants of python (/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework, /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework,/opt/local/bin/python, ...) as long as they have the same major relase. This is very important on Panther because /System/Library/Python.framework and /Library/Python.framework (2.3.0 vs. 2.3.5) share the same site-packages directory. This is explained somewhere on the pythonmac mailinglist. Look for 'Why do I need PantherPythonFix'.
