Because I'm not installing Python, I'm building it.  If I were just interested
in installing Python, I wouldn't care whether it was static or shared libraries.

This is all very specific to my product.  We are not just OS X, but Windows
and Linux as well.  Because of this, we use an SDK/ folder that has all the
third-party dependencies contained within it (in a non-platform way).
Frameworks are OS X-specific.  I build Python within its distribution folder,
and then package that same folder up into an archive that gets deposited into
the SDK/ folder.  The product then builds against that.
