[issue14851] Python-2.6.8 install fails due to missing files

[gene]

New submission from gene <eduvall at nrao.edu>:

Hi,
I've downloaded both source versions of Python for Mac 2.6.8 and have unziped them with Mac GUI or gunzip but all attempts fail due to build not finding files. First missing file is pyconfig.h which appears to be named pyconfig.h.in. When I remove the .in then next missing object is Modules/Setup. I don't see a fix for this. I'm installing this in Mac OS X 10.6.8. Any ideas?
