Courtesy of Guido, the bug that I was hitting was:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=5470&atid=105470&func=detail&aid=498915


But below is that change that gave me the following more detailed
error string:

>>> import pyobjc
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: dyld: /usr/local/src/Python-2.2/python.exe Undefined symbols:
_PyObject_DelItemString
Failure linking new module
