Sadly there are some general issues with Python on
Snow Leopard (this isn't just a Biopython issue). Right
now as far as I know none of our core developers have
Snow Leopard (10.6) so it is hard to help.

However, with Leopard (10.4), when installing XCode I
had the option of installing the 10.3 headers too. Could
you re-install XCode and check this time for an option
to include the headers for 10.4 (and/or 10.3)?
