pkg-config is used to tell where Python.h is located. Running 'scons
configure' will automatically generate a file python-2.pc (under
scons/pkgconfig) that in your case should contain something like this:

   Cflags: -I/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/include/python2.6

You might already have a copy of python-2.pc in your PKG_CONFIG_PATH
and in that case 'scons configure' will not generate a new one (SyFi
also installs python-2.pc). You can safely delete any old python-2.pc
files and let 'scons configure' generate a new one with hopefully the
correct contents.

I Hope this will help.
