Thanks Alain. I should have a compiler on my Mac OS X Lion. I am thinking that it
isn't set in my $PATH variable. I don't know where the $PATH is set at. I will
check to see if their is a binary.


You'll have to have the Apple Developer tools (xcode) installed to get a c-compiler, but
maybe that's the case on your mac already. (Weird though, it should add gcc -the
compiler- to the PATH by itself, I don't recall having to change that myself.)

In any case, there is a .dmg with a binary installer for Python 2.7.3 available for
download at python.org [1] so there should not really be a need to compile it yourself.
If you really do need to compile it yourself, consider using Homebrew [2] to install it,
instead of downloading the source and compiling it manually. With homebrew it's a simple
'brew install python' and a few minutes later it's done. It will be lot easier to
install 3rd party library dependencies this way too.

Irmen.
