Mac users definitely do expect installers. 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.
The same is true for any other operating system, though: you need to install the compiler tool chain (sometimes, you need to buy it first), and compiling Python with all extensions is not a trivial task.
Regards, Martin
