Comment(by kyngchaos):

 Ah, right.

 Looks like in python.make it's just a compile command.  Not an issue for
 the OS X 32bit vs. 64bit problem, but important to compile for the right
 version of python.

 I also found $(PYTHON) in the wx gui makefile.  There it's just running
 python scripts to generate some files, doesn't look to me like the python
 version is important.

 Configuring a PYTHON could also be useful if some wx stuff is run at
 compile time, to get around the 32bit OS X problem with old wxpython
 versions, and on OS X wxpython python scripts need to run in pythonw...
 hmm, there might already be some of those - wx-based modules that are run
 to generate the help files.
