On a debian box (which includes ubuntu etc), doing: # aptitude build-dep python will get you all the packages you need to build python. You can use apt-get instead of aptitude. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

How can I find out exactly what modules are missing, and what I need to do to make sure they are built next time? Some of them won't ever build, as they are platform-dependent. For example, if you're building on a Linux machine, sunaudiodev won't build. The last sentence is just telling you to poke around in the setup.py code to figure out what it's looking for. Many libraries have arcane version naming schemes, and it might not stumble upon the right spelling, and thus fail to find it. For example tcl 8.5 might be installed as libtcl85.so, libtcl8.5.dylib, etc. I believe the modules which failed for you are probably all named in a straightforward fashion, so missing underlying libraries are probably the culprit.
