Forgive me if this is not the correct place to post, but I found a similar question here.
I have used a mac as my main machine for about 6 years, but have had no real need to get involved in the terminal. I've dabbled with xcode, but wanted to try something new and decided to try to learn Python. The first step was downloading Python, and then following the readme instructions as follows:
So I have run the first step although it doesn't appear successful:
Any help on this would be appreciated....
But then I don't seem to be able to run the make command, which is how I ended up at the link above.
I've followed the advice within the post with the following results:
I have reinstalled xcode (from the app store), but still get no result from which make.
I'd appreciate any advice on how to get python 3.2.2 up and running.
Thanks.

On Unix, Linux, BSD, OSX, and Cygwin:

make test
sudo make install
So I have run the first step although it doesn't appear successful:
