[Pythonmac-SIG] Need help with Python Library link error in OS X 10.11.6

[Christopher Barker]

The configure script should come with the source. It is specific to that
particular package, not a system script.

But brew should do that for you anyway.

I have no idea what Appium is, but it looks like it depends on Python --
you probably neeed to install the brew version of Python first.

I would have thought that brew's dependency management would handle that,
but it's worth a try to do it by hand.
