If you are using Python from python.org  then use my unofficial binary 
installer (I wish it was official, but the Frederik is apparently 
unwilling to serve it).

If you want to build from source then you'll need to install XCode and 
the prerequisite libraries. My notes on that are:
Install libjpeg or point the build system to the version in /usr/X11
Install freetype or point the build system to the version in /usr/X11
Install littleCMS (I installed version 1.19 because I could not build 
2-2.0a)
