This doesn't work correctly set on 10.6 because Python links to a number of system libraries that have changed in 10.6. We try to get a working binary by using an OSX SDK, but that only works on 10.5 because setup.py looks at system headers instead of the ones in the SDK. I'm working on a fix for that (see issue 7724 <http://bugs.python.org/issue7724>), running a 10.5 VM just for doing test builds of the installer sucks. There's also a buildbot that's running OSX 10.4 and is can build the installer (or is very close to it, I'm slightly behind on my e-mail). Ronald
