python.exe on Mac OS X!?

[Rodney Maxwell]

I did a source code build of Python 2.4.1 on OS X (10.3.8) and the
executable produced was 'python.exe'. Can someone tell me whether this
is a bug, feature, or UserError?

% ./configure
<snip>
% make
<snip>
% ./python.exe
Python 2.4.1 (#1, Apr 17 2005, 12:14:12)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)] on darwin
