2.6.4 contains a number of patches that make it possible to build extensions for the python.org binary installer on 10.6, those patches have been forward ported to the 3.1 tree, but there hasn't been a release of 3.1.x that includes those fixes. 2.7 and 3.2 will obviously also work when those are released. Python 2.5 was released long before OSX 10.6 was released and there won't be any further maintainance releases, that's why the SL fixes haven't been backported to 2.5. Ronald
