PyROOT on OS X 10.8: libpython2.7 is not found

Note … this thread is a “continuation” of: [url]./configure does not find libpython2.7?

One more thing … what ROOT version are you trying to use exactly?
In the previous thread [url]Canvas does not show up in OSX 10.8 with XQuartz 2.7.2? “tpochep” mentions some recent modifications “in both trunk and 5-34 specially for Mac OS X 8”.
Maybe you could try to download the source of the head of the v5-34-00-patches branch:
svn co root.cern.ch/svn/root/branches/v5-34-00-patches root
