Well, if the python settings in platform.make are correct, as you  
found, this won't help.

Python is not broken, so we should try to avoid "fixing" it with  
symlinks.  it's more a problem of a confused or broken linker.

Either someone figures out distutils, or we work around it by editing  
platform.make (until a better fix is found) or do something in  
configure.

I just tried it on my Mini.

OSX 10.5.4
Xcode 3.1
MacPython 2.5.2
wxpython 2.8.8.1

It configures fine, but for some reason it's linking the system python  
(but it IS linking the correct wxpython).
