Help father help son / Install Version 2.6 on Mac OSX 10.9

[quequegg]

I just want to help him get the environment set up.
Running Mac Maverick, OSX 10.9
Trying to install Python 2.6 because PyGames says it will only install if Python 2.6 is present.
When I run make framework install
I am treated to: gcc -c -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I. -IInclude -I./Include -DPy_BUILD_CORE -DSVNVERSION=\"`LC_ALL=C svnversion .`\" -o Modules/getbuildinfo.o ./Modules/getbuildinfo.c
clang: error: no such file or directory: 'directory"'
make: *** [Modules/getbuildinfo.o] Error 1

Hint?

Are you sure you need 2.6 and not 2.7? This suggests 2.7 works:

And, in any case, Apple ships OS X 10.9 with copies of both Python 2.7
and 2.6:

/usr/bin/python2.7
/usr/bin/python2.6
