One problem I've run into is that the 64-bit Mac python 2.7 does not work properly with ActiveState Tcl/Tk. One symptom is to build matplotlib. The results fail -- both versions of Tcl/Tk somehow get linked in.
The 64-bit OS X installer is built on and tested on systems with A/S Tcl/Tk 8.5.x and we explicitly recommend its use when possible.

Please open a python bug for this and any other issues you know of regarding the use with current A/S Tcl/Tk 8.5.x with current 2.7.x or 3.2.x installers on OS X 10.6 or 10.7.
Yes. I apologize. See the discussion in the Mac python mailing list (I replied to your email there). I was trying to build a matplotlib binary installer and ran into problems. I don't know where the problem comes from, and it may well not have anything to do with the python build. -- Russell
