   I think even on RH you may do it "standard way" - install python-dev
RPM, and you've got Makefile.pre.in and Setup.in with them. Copy these
files to you work directory, modify Setup.in to your needs (to PyGreSQL
needs this time :) and make -f Makefile.pre.in && make.
   I didn't test my advice - I run only Debian systems and one Solaris; and
in any case I installed Python from sources - I need some more modules
(locale, most notable) and some less (no tkinter, please :)

   D'Arcy would gladly accept any patch.
