Half an hour of human time, maybe, but potentially spread across a few hours of wall time. Building Python from source can take quite a while, and if you then go back and get some more dev libraries and start over, it might take a good while to get the job done. Let's be a bit more generous and say a day. But beyond that, one must know one's limits: it's better to give up after a day (or half a day, preferably) and go ask for help, rather than struggle for weeks.
