No, however you have to make sure that you're consistent. Do you have  
any other Python distribution installed (e.g. through Fink or  
MacPorts)? Make sure that PYTHON_EXECUTABLE, PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR and  
PYTHON_LIBRARY refer to the same Python installation. If you are  
compiling with CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT and CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET other  
than the default (e.g. with 10.5 on a 10.6 system) you have to make  
sure that especially PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR refers to the Python.framework  
version in /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.X.sdk (where X is the minor  
version number, e.g. 5 and 6). I'm not sure why I had to do this  
(because the flags -isysroot and -mmacosx-version-min set by  
CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT and CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET should take care of  
that), but I also got compilation failures with Python if I didn't do  
this.
