This patch ports Python's makesetup to be usable with zsh, and results in a Makefile identical to one created with bash. I have not checked whether other shell scripts in the Python package need similar treatment. Please report this to the Python folks (best if you also mention the CONFIG_SHELL workaround I wrote in the previous mail).
