What does it do imperfectly?

By the way: through all these messages, I still havn't figured out why 
the OP hasn't just used distutils. It is VERY,VERY easy. (note that I 
havn't done it with Panther yet, but with 2.3 on Jaguar, I've always 
been able to simply:

./setup.py build

with a setup.py I wrote on Linux, and writing the setup.py was EASY. 
Take a look at:

http://www.python.org/doc/current/ext/building.html

It should take you about 10 minutes to get your extension setup and built.
