summary: Point out that OS X users need to change examples to use python.exe instead of python. Once Python is done building you will then have a working build of Python that can be run in-place;
./pythonon most machines,./python.exe-on OS X. +on OS X (all examples throughout this documentation say./pythonbut +implies you choose the proper name based on your OS). That's true on OS X if you are using a case-insensitive file system. But wIth the newer, case-sensitive HFS+, for example, you get ./python.
Are you thinking of UFS, because I am running HFS+ and I still get python.exe since it's case-preserving.
Regardless, I will add a note about the case-sensitivity.
