One issue is that you are mixing compilers and SDKs. Python 2.7.3 was
released about the time Apple released Xcode 4.3 which fundamentally
changed where SDKs are located. Xcode 4 no longer uses /Developer at
all, so what is there is likely left behind from 10.7 or earlier
versions of Xcode. Further, Xcode 4.5 which is the currently supported
version on 10.8 does not include an SDK for 10.6. 2.7.3 does have
support for using clang instead of the Xcode 3.2 gcc-4.2 it was built
with. This is untested but the simplest workaround if you are using
Xcode 4.4 or 4.5.* may be to just remove (or at least rename) /Developer
sudo mv /Developer /Developer-old
and make sure you have installed the Command Line Tools component of
Xcode 4.* (Xcode -> Preferences). If there is no directory at the
original SDK path (/Developer/SDKs/MacoOSX10.6.sdk), I believe distutils
will try to build without using an SDK, which may work. Also, you may
need to define env variable CXX if you are building c++:
export CXX=/usr/bin/g++
or export CXX=/usr/bin/clang++
The plan is for the next maintenance release of Python 2.7 to work
better with current Xocde 4.x on 10.7 and 10.7, as the newly released
Python 3.3.0 does.
