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? Building a DMG file, in a way that the output will actually work on most other systems. That is trivial: use Mac/BuildScript/build-installer.py on OSX 10.5.

Hmm. When I tried it (on some 2.5 release), it took me two days until it produced something.
