If you look at the setup.py file at the top of a Python source 
distribution you'll find there how all the standard MacPython modules 
are built.

The trick is to use the extra_link_args arguments to link against the 
framework. For example, here's the distutils magic for the CF module:
             exts.append( Extension('_CF', ['cf/_CFmodule.c', 
'cf/pycfbridge.c'],
                         extra_link_args=['-framework', 
'CoreFoundation']) )
