not *after* you've built the distribution:
$ more Modules/Makefile.pre.in
...
# This target is used by the master Makefile to link the final binary.
link: $(MAINOBJ)
$(LINKCC) $(LDFLAGS) $(LINKFORSHARED) $(MAINOBJ) \
$(LDLIBRARY) $(MODLIBS) $(LIBS) $(SYSLIBS) -o python$(EXE) $(LDLAST)
mv python$(EXE) ../python$(EXE)
...
note the last line -- after the interpreter has been built, it's moved
from Modules to Modules/../python. If EXE isn't set, and you're on
a case-insensitive system, the interpreter will end up in the Python
directory...
