This test works for me using the 2.6.3 installer which is 32-bit only.

It will fail, though, on a 64-bit build since Apple does not supply 64-bit versions of the Carbon frameworks used by these modules. That's why they are deprecated and have been removed in python 3. You can see the same failure using Apple's 64-bit python 2.6 in 10.6. You'll also see it on 10.5 with 64-bit.
