A build on my machine produces output similar to:

Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found: bsddb

third-party (Sleepycat) library needed (see the installer script)

dl

only available for 32-bit

gdbm

third-party library needed (not supplied in the installer build)

imageop

only available for 32-bit (and removed in 3.x)

linuxaudiodev ossaudiodev

neither supported on OS X

readline

requires either GNU readline lib (not included with OS X) or (with 2.6.5, trunk, or py3k) can now use OS X editline (libedit) replacement when targeting for 10.5 or 10.6 (add MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5 or 10.6 to ./configure arguments).

spwd sunaudiodev

neither supported on OS X

Failed to build these modules: tkinter

currently only supported for 32-bit archs as there was no 64-bit (non-X) Tk on OS X prior to 10.6 and there are unresolved problems with the 10.6 Apple-supplied Tk 8.5 and 2.6.x IDLE (Issue6864).
