This is a bit of a pain, but the drill is that you have to build ige- 
mac-integration twice. It gets built the first time as part of meta- 
gtk-osx-bootstrap, but after you build pygtk, you have build it again.  
Just run jhbuild buildone ige-mac-integration and configure should  
notice that pygtk is present and enable python for you. If it doesn't,  
add
append_autogenargs("ige-mac-integration", "--enable-python=yes")
to your .jhbuildrc-custom and run jhbuild buildone ige-mac-integration  
again.

As a general rule, you can't run make directly on subdirectory  
Makefiles in an sutotools project. They're dependent on the correct  
environment being passed in to them from the root-directory Makefile.
