The latest 2.0c1 release of Python will build "out-of-the-box" on 
Darwin or OSX with either the Darwin or Apple development tools. 
Use:
 ./configure --with-dyld --with-suffix=.x
 make 
 
then:
 su 
 ... 
 make install 


You can get the source from www.pythonlabs.com



As far as I know, no one has yet built a version with support for
Tkinter, pyGtk, WxWindows or any other GUI code. ( We're working
on that next. ) 




The MacPython build for OS<9 will work in the OS9 environment on
OSX, and will give you both Tkinter and native Mac toolbox support. 
( I haven't done any exhaustive testing -- I just installed it and
ran a couple of scripts to see that it [mostly] worked. )
