Yes, GMP is a pain to compile (especially on Mac OS X), but I believe that the Universal Binary library version I've put among the gmpy downloads (see http://code.google.com/p/gmpy/downloads/list) works fine (at least it seems to work fine for gmpy, which is my Python extension that wraps GMP, and gmpy exposes and copiously unit-tests essentially all of GMP's functionality). Just mentioning this in case you want to give Scheme another chance (which it may well deserve, although closures are hardly unique to it; I wonder if you meant continuations). Python may enjoy better tools and libraries than Scheme, but then Java enjoys better ones yet, yet I prefer to stick with Python because I like it better *as a language*...
