I've been trying to tackle this problem since 2.40 came out! :O
My g/f has an ibook G3, one of the "white ones".
2.40 py2.3x fails
2.40 py2.4x fails even with undefined.org build of python
The next time she's in town I might try compiling pythno manually as you suggested, SecularJ.

I can't ever remember what version of OS X she's running, but she said she's getting 10.4.4 next week, so I assume she's got the previous "boxed" version. Tiger me thinks... Thanks!
OS X.4.4
