I just found something interesting in Mac/OSX/Dist/build :

if [ ! -e python.exe ]; then
    ln -s python python.exe
fi

So it is a case-sensitve vs. not case sensitive filesystem, but this
code should fix it... Why isn't it working then ?

The README file in Mac/OSX/ says that that Mac/OSX/Dist/build is only used for creating binary distributions, and grepping for "\<Dist\>" and "/build\>" through the source after the configure step indicates to me that it is never called by anything else.

By the way, has anybody reported this problem upstream? I imagine that it would be easy for them to fix.

Kind regards,
