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. BTW. I'm fine with a sept. 25th release, that should give us enough time to shake out issues with OSX 10.6 support.

Some or all earlier Mac binaries of Python 2.6 were not compatible with 3rd party Aqua Tcl/Tk (e.g. ActiveState's versions) -- at least on MacOS X 10.5. I hope that will be fixed with the current release.
