There could be bugs in the support for CodeWarrior 8, as MacPython is 
built with CodeWarrior 7 and the project templates that distutils uses 
(through the mkcwproject package, look in :Mac:Lib:mwcwproject) are 
also for CW7.

What do you mean by "not getting past the build stage"? Do you get 
errors, or do things simply stop? And when the machine locks up, can 
you get it going again with command-.?

There is a problem with distutils when running MacPython 2.2.2 on OSX: 
it can't find one of its include directories. Thre's an SF bug report 
filed for this (740424).
