If you need to install Redland Python bindings on Mac OS X then one of the ways is to use MacPorts:

sudo port install redland-bindings +python25

It is just one command and all dependencies will be installed automatically. (Though I usually install python25 with a separate command)

There is a cost to this because MacPorts would compile its own version of Python and as a result the installation might take a while. This is due to MacPorts policy to install all the prerequisites.

Context: I was having issues installing Redland Python bindings on Mac OS X and it seemed that nobody around me had them working either. MacPorts turned out to be the easiest way to do this.
