My wild guess is that something on OSX  is doing 

  #define string wstring

You might try running your extension module through the preprocessor
to see what's happening.


Really, the only way to debug this is to run gdb on python itself and
set a breakpoint in the function that is used to throw exceptions, so
you can see what it's actually complaining about.
