Well, I am building on PPC/Leopard but the web page https://live.gnome.org/GTK+/OSX/Building says:

"Note: jhbuild requires Python 2.5 to unpack tar files, but Tiger provides Python 2.3. We provide a Python 2.7 module, which you can build like so:"


which made me assume that I only need to install the jhbuild version of python when building on Tiger (and not for Tiger).

Anyway, not a problem really.
