Dear Lou,
You may want to try using distutils or setuputils, which makes compiling extensions much easier. It does the hard work of finding out which flags are needed to compile extensions on the host platform. There are many examples on the web on how to use distutils to build C extensions (http://docs.python.org/ext/building.html).
Unfortunately, this does not work. Distutils only knows how to build python extensions, not shared libraries. Depending on the platform, this is not the same thing, and mac os X is such a platform where both are not the same. cheers, David
