Aren't the instructions about the "makeframework install" somewhere in
the Python source tree (a README or something like that)? I remember
running into this issue with 2.4.2, then consulting docs somewhere in
the code package I downloaded, then trying again successfully. The
buildd process even rebuilt all the packages I had installed in the
site-packages directory. Unexpected, but not an issue.
