Whoops, my bad. I was just copy/pasting the URL and I didn't notice  
that it was https. :-)

Ah! Seems like you've hit the nail on the head. I had XCode 2.2.1  
installed with libtool version 590.23.2. When I upgraded to XCode  
2.4.1 with libtool version 622.5 I managed to install python25  
correctly.

Thanks for the help!
