It seems that the packaging of Mac Python 2.6 is missing at least one file that is critical to the operation of bundlebuilder.py.

I've logged the issue as http://bugs.python.org/issue4937. I've noted a workaround in the tracker: just copy the file from an older version of Python. It's a simple xml plist and I don't think its contents are all that critical anyway.

I figured the contents are not not important as the files from 2.5 and
2.4 talk of alpha this that and the other.

While the build should be fixed for 2.6+ (I'll send a patch), note that bundlebuilder is gone in 3.0.

What is the replacement for bundlebuilder for 3.0? Lack of bundlebuilder becomes a serious porting problem for me. I deliver pysvn WOrkbench as a bundle to simplify installation by my users.
