First, I highly recommend that you use the the MacPython2.5 python

Second, how are you trying to build your wrappers? If you aren't using 
distutils (setup.py), then you're doing it the hard way. You really want 
to use distutils.

Unfortunately, the SWIG docs didn't tel you how to do this until 
recently. There are directions in the docs in the SWIG svn here:

http://swig.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/swig/trunk/Doc/Manual/Python.html?view=log

Hopefully that will make it into the released docs soon.
