For MacPython 2.2 and it's successor MacPython-OS9 2.3 (i.e. the python 
that can run on both OS9 and OSX) CodeWarrior is a requirement for the 
simple reason that it's the only compiler that can generate CFM code, 
and CFM code is a requirement when you want to run on OS9.

But if you're not interested in OS9 then there's no reason not to switch 
to the unix tools.
