Note that it works this way on Linux as well. On Kubuntu (for example) you need another half dozen or so additional *-dev packages installed to avoid unexpected test skips.

Cheers, Nick. P.S. For anyone curious, I posted the list of extra packages you need here: http://boredomandlaziness.blogspot.com/2010/01/kubuntu-dev-packages-to-build-python.html

As an aside, I wonder if it would make sense to create an Ubuntu/Debian package that essentially just depended on all those -dev packages. That way you could install this python-uber-dev package and get everything you needed to build a sumo Python.

Hmm, /me goes to hack on his PPA.
