I've found that only one build is needed.  Build as described in
MacOSX/README to do the framework and then just put a link to
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.2/bin/python in
/usr/local/bin or anywhere else on the PATH.

I've got a (slightly outdated) set of instructions in
wxWindows/wxPython/BUILD.osx.txt
