Summary: unset PYTHON* shell vars

Initial Comment:
When I install on a new machine, MacOS X iBook using bash, with PYTHONHOME, PYTHONPATH, and PYTHONSTARTUP set the make, test, and install will fail.

Usually this is not a problem since I have previous versions of Python and I have never seen this.

I would suggest that in make these variables are unset before continuing. It took me a while to figure out why various standard packages (os, regex, etc) were not being found.

This is fixed in 2.2 with the addition of the -E command
line option (ignore environment variables like PYTHONPATH
and PYTHONHOME that modify the behavior of  the  interpreter).
