That's odd. You shouldn't get this error message. The error message  
tell you that the environment variable MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is  
present and has a value that is different from the time that Python  
was build. However, when the current value is the empty string (what  
the error message seems to suggest) python should just use the value  
that was used when python was build.

What happens when you do this in the shell:
$ cd /Users/apple/Desktop/PyX-0.8.1
$ MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET= python setup.py install

And what is the output of: python -c "import os; print repr(os.getenv 
('MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET', ''))"
