! Mac OS X 10.0: Run configure with "OPT='-no-cpp-precomp' ./configure

!         by default as they are experimental, on real OSX you can enable them
!         in setup.py).
!         You may want to try the configure option "--enable-framework" which
!         installs Python as a framework. The location can be set as argument
!         to the --enable-framework option (default /Library/Frameworks).

+ On Mac OS X, if you have configured Python with --enable-framework, you
+ should use "make frameworkinstall" to do the installation. Note that this
+ installs the Python executable in a place that is not normally on your
+ PATH, you may want to set up a symlink in /usr/local/bin.
