Sorry, I meant relatively trivial for someone who knows how spkgs work
- I was thinking someone might cook one up.

Try replacing your spkg with 
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kcrisman/python-2.6.4.p10.spkg
just to see if the most trivial possible change works.

No, by design it shouldn't change results.  It only is testing for
Ubuntu 11.

But it doesn't matter.  Do a normal (i.e. failing at Python) Sage
build.  When it gives you the message you saw

Instead, the following commands setup all environment variables
correctly and load a subshell for you to debug the error:
(cd '/home/george/APCG/apcg/mcp/sage/spkg/build/python-2.6.4.p9' && '/
home/george/APCG/apcg/mcp/sage/sage' -sh)

and then it's possible to make the changes with all environment
variables appropriately set.  Though I don't think it would be as easy
as typing "make" there, since the Python spkg has a little more to it
than most.
