I'm not too happy about that, the discussion should have been moved to the 
tracker instead.

* _bsddb and gdbm require external libraries that aren't provided in the system 
install

* dl doesn't get build on OSX 10.6 when you use the default configure settings 
because that results in a 64-bit binary and setup.py explicitly disables 
building the dl module for 64-bit platforms. Apple has a patch that enables 
building dl on 64-bit OSX, I haven't had time to check if that patch is 
actually valid.

imageop is not 64-bit clean, the others are not relevant on OSX

readline requires an external library or python 2.6.5, 2.7 or 3.2.    

The other two are not relevant on OSX.

This one should work. Do you have a /Library/Framework/Tcl.framework? If so, 
what is the output of "file /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Tcl", what OSX 
release are you building on and what are the configure flags.
