The fix needs the dpkg-architecture program. As Tshepang pointed out it may not be available on Edward's box. I always install build-essential on all development boxes as it includes GCC, make and dpkg-dev.

That's probably it. Certainly Python 2.7, 3.2, and 3.3 build just fine for me on Debian Wheezy and Ubuntu Precise. One other thing: you might want to apt-get build-dep python3.2 to get all the build dependencies installed first, even if you're building Python from source. If you're building Python 3.3 from source, you'll also want to install liblzma-dev.
