Yep, that's related to the "root" of the problem (or, is actually 
probably a result of the same problem).

Right.  It seems that someone with OS X will need to figure out how to 
make the Python bindings (and the metadata grabber scripts) work on Mac 
OS X and provide a patch.  Until then, they aren't installed.

So, the answer to the question of why the Movie and TV grabbers show 
nothing is because without the Python bindings the scripts don't work.  
So, when the setup screen attempts to run the -v "checks" for the 
scripts, they fail, so there are no scripts to list for the Movie and TV 
media.  The one Game media grabber happens to be a Perl script that 
doesn't use the bindings, so it's not reliant on the bindings, which is 
why it shows up.

As I understand it, configure is telling you that the python bindings 
"will be built", but because no one has figured out how to install them 
on Mac OS X in the bundle or whatever, they aren't actually installed.
