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? I usually find that the normal "./configure; make; make install" sequence works fine without any further intervention.

If you want a framework installation you have to read the README and use a couple of extra options, but it still works very smoothly.
