I don't have snow leopard, so I can't test anything , but a few comments:

note that those instructions were written for 2.6.2 -- I think 2.6.4 may 
do the right thing without that command. I'd try it.

well, do you have:

/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk

I suspect not. I think it's an optional install with XCode (you did 
install XCode, didn't you?)

I think this is your show-stopper -- try going back to however you 
installed XCode,a nd look for a box to check to install the 10.4u SDK.

If this doesn't work, I'd try the pythonmac list.

HTH,
