The only thing I can imagine here is that you have an old libreadline  
(installed while you were still running 10.1?). Try updating it. Also  
try cleaning out all the build stuff (the whole "build" subdirectory)  
in your Python build directory.

This looks like part of the install was done with sudo, and part  
wasn't. I would say clean out /Applications/MacPython-2.3 and try again.

I don't know, maybe the remove didn't work? What you can at least try  
is do a "make frameworkinstallunixtools", which puts the interpreters  
into /usr/local/bin/{python,pythonw} even though the building of the  
apps fails. Then make sure /usr/local/bin is on your $PATH, rehash, and  
try again.
