1. Download Python 2.5.1 from http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.1/Python-2.5.1.tgz and save to /afs/slac/g/glast/ground/GLAST_EXT/tiger-i386-32bit/python if it doesn't already exist.
2. Change directory to /afs/slac/g/glast/ground/GLAST_EXT/tiger-i386-32bit/python
3. Ungzip and Untar the file Python-2.5.1.tgz
4. Change directory to Python-2.5.1
5. Set the environment variable EXTRA_CFLAGS to "-fno-common"
6. Execute ./configure --prefix /afs/slac/g/glast/ground/GLAST_EXT/tiger-i386-32bit/python/2.5.1-gl2/gcc40 --enable-unicode=ucs2
7. Edit the file Modules/posixmodule.c and change lines 342 and 360 to "#ifdef _APPLE_" (without quotes) and save/exit.
8. Execute make
9. Execute make install
10. Leave and erase the current directory (Python-2.5.1)

Additional Python Modules
