[Pythonmac-SIG] Why is Framework build of Python needed

OK.

Some people I am working with feel that doing a framework build is a
bit of a hassle.  It means they/we have to support custom build logic
on OS X compared to linux/unix, which I agree is a pain.  But there
are no fundamental reasons we are opposed to a Framework build.  Just
a bit more work for us.
