Possibly some 'python-devel' package is missing. > Do I absolutely need to run the 'python setup.py install' command? > Pyhtoncad runs quite happily without it if I execute './gtkpycad.py'.

So, if you are comfortable with just running './gtkpycad.py' from the PythonCAD directory, you should probably stick with that.
