Hi Daniel-

Building (a standard disk image installer) on OS-X is really pretty  
easy.
Just have the devtools installed, be connected to the internet (so the
script can download extra files) and go to the Mac/BuildScript  
directory of
your python source and 'python build-installer.py'  (There is also a  
README
in that directory)

There are a couple of issues at the moment (and they might be  
particular to
me, but you should be careful of them anyway).

Issues:

-- be very careful of what you have installed in /opt, /sw and /usr/ 
local; the build
script attempts to shelter itself from those places, but it is not  
entirely successful.
(I don't have fink/macports stuff... and I usually just temporarily
rename /usr/local  to something else while I build, just
to make sure it doesn't pick up any dependencies)

-- at the moment the _tkinter module won't build for me; this might be  
particular to
my Leopard system...and I'm still looking at it.

-- the sqlite version that the build script depends on is not  
downloadable anymore:
    I switched it to the newest stable version with this diff to the  
script:
    (I don't really use sqlite much with python, so I'm not sure what  
ramifications
     this has).
