For what it's worth, the python.org installers for Mac OS X do include a 
libpython shared library.  As of Python 2.7 (and 3.2), the installer includes a 
symlink to make it easier to find:

$ cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib
$ ls -l libpython2.7.dylib
$ lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  9 Oct 27 20:46 libpython2.7.dylib@ -> ../Python
$ file ../Python
../Python: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
../Python (for architecture ppc):       Mach-O dynamically linked shared 
library ppc
../Python (for architecture i386):      Mach-O dynamically linked shared 
library i386
$ cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6
$ file Python
Python: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
Python (for architecture ppc):  Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc
Python (for architecture i386): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386

In Debian and Ubuntu releases, the shared library is put into its own 
optionally installed package, libpythonx.x.
