This is too vague. Do you want:

1) To do server-side programming in Python (creating functions in
Python instead of plPgSQL or SQL)?

If so:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/plpython.html

2) Access the database from a client written in Python?

If so:
http://initd.org/projects/psycopg1

(There are other Python client interfaces such as PoPy, but psycopg is
the most common, and best maintained version.)

The second is typically much simpler. (I do both.)

                          ??? Solaris or Mandrake?

--with-python is only for 1), server-side programming.

Commands typed and actual results obtained? Otherwise, noone can help
you.

No.
