Python 2.1 compiles "out of the box" for Mac OS X.  No special handing
needed (at least not here), except that before make test it is
necessary to increase the stack size limit (limit stack 4096).  

I've seen people muttering about compiling some of the available
modules, however.  In some at least of those, the case-insigificant
file system needs to be adjust for (as it does with the distributed
Perl).
