My feeling about requiring a higher Python version for Tiger remains this:

"I'd prefer that we provide an easy means to do the install of Python 2.6 (ideally a single script you can run, and ideally without affecting the system copy), rather than making every Tiger developer figure it out on
their own."

For those of us who still need to support Tiger, it would be a huge hassle to have to figure out how to update Python manually to even run the layout tests. The fact that it's not a primary development platform doesn't mean that it's ok to add stumbling blocks to the development process. In fact, it kinda makes it less ok, because then it takes more work to shift gears when
fixing a Tiger-specific bug.

At minimum, there should be instructions here, and ideally the install
should be one step:

Yay thanks! (Will try to review these later if no one beats me.)
