I'm assuming you have a python source release, and that you're using a 
unix-like operating system.

You'd normally compile python by running

./configure
make
su root
make install

in the source directory of Python-2.1

Instead of just ./configure, run

./configure --without-pymalloc

You can use ./configure --help to see the list of configuration options.
