MacOS X 10.6 support should be stable now, except for a critical issue with IDLE: opening a new window hangs IDLE (issue 6864).

That said, I haven't scanned the issue tracker for more 10.6 related issues.

I just opened issue 6877 and provided a patch that I use for a long
time already. It would be nice to have it in the release though since
other people could benefit from it too.

It resolves a BusError crash when Python readline module is built with
a native Mac OS X editline (emulates readline). The patch fixes the
issue and enables use of readline module on Mac OS X.

Best regards,
