Hmmmm...Python 2.3.4 isn't very old, and the source code does contain
a PyDict_Copy() function.  The only newer version is 2.4, and it
was released in late November.  I was wondering if it was a dynamic
linking issue, like plpython.so not finding libpython*.

Does PostgreSQL's configure script check versions for Perl, Python,
Tcl, etc.?  If the version matters then configure ought to complain
about it.
