that is a very old doc, and only applies to OS-9 and below.
On OS-X, the standard way to compile python is with Apple's gcc.
provided with the XCode package.
you should be able to do a simple:
python setup.py build
at the command line, if you want to use the Apple-provided python. If
you've installed python2.4.1, then do:
python2.4 setup.py build
or
/usr/local/python setup.py build
depending on how your PATH is set.
If this doesn't work, post your errors, and we'll see what we can
suggest. If the code works with gcc on other systems (Cygwin, Linux,
etc), then there is a good chance it will work on OS-X. If it's only
been compiled with MS compiler, it may need some tweaking.
