Don't compile and link using the "-framework" flag, but use the  
'python-config' command to get the right compiler flags for linking  
and compiling. The python-config command is located inside the  
framework (such as  /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ 
Versions/2.5/bin/python-config).

If you are using Xcode you can hardcode the output of this command  
into your Xcode project, you don't have to run python-config every  
time you compile.
