I just tried this on my vanilla 10.04.1 system.  I checked out release27-maint
ran configure && make.  It built without problem.

I installed Python 2.7 to /usr/local, then did a make distclean, configure,
make.  Again, successfully.

When you say "installed python 2.7" do you mean the one you installed to
/usr/local from a from-source build, or something else (e.g. a Python 2.7
package perhaps)?

Sure.  Please +nosy me.  But I think something else is going on.
