Well, I found out that if before compiling my python I set export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3
and then do all the rest, then I get easy_install to work. Besides, I had the same error trying to install cx_Oracle. So, somehow my python (or setuptools) need to build for "10.3". For me it's a bug in setuptools since the function that do this check and raise the error are from setuptools package.
