Building Python requires, I believe, the XCode development tools to be installed. Even then, building a full version of Python - with all the C extensions that are part of a Python release - is not a trivial task.

What's non-trivial about it? Building a DMG file, in a way that the output will actually work on most other systems.

That is trivial: use Mac/BuildScript/build-installer.py on OSX 10.5. Making sure that unrelated changes don't accidently break the OSX build can be non-trivial though...

That doesn't work with the py3k trunk at the moment, I just noticed that framework builds are broken there. I've filed issue #8441 for that and am working on a fix.
