that's likely, given building didn't work for you.

after all, Plone's an application that happens to include a Python interpreter,
not a Python distribution.

to minimize the risk, I'd grab the corresponding python.org version, install it
in a separate location, use the python.org version to build the extensions, and
finally install them in the Plone tree.

but maybe there's no risk for conflict; maybe someone from the Plone team
can clarify ?
