So, will this be a vanilla unix python, or Macpython 2.2.2? In other
words, would the Carbon/Mac modules be included? If not, would the
installed version be compatible with their inclusion in a separate
framework? (i.e. one that could be included in an application package or
dragged into the appropriate folder).

It seems like committing Python to the Darwin source tree would be
sufficient for eventual inclusion in OS X.  Perhaps it would be
worth getting a stable 2.2 Macpython committed? (if it isn't already).
