I was installing on a Tiger machine, which comes with Python 2.3.5, so the first thing I did was to install Xcode 2.5, the latest release for Tiger. I also needed Subversion, so I downloaded and installed that. Later versions of OS X Xcode include Subversion, so you won't need to do it separately if you're using those. I then installed Python 2.6.5 from python.org, which winds up in /usr/local/bin, and modified my PATH to put /usr/local/bin on it. I downloaded the source bundles for Twisted, zope.interface, and buildbot, and installed them in that order -- "sudo python setup.py install" works fine for each of them. After that, I followed the instructions on the Wiki at http://wiki.python.org/moin/BuildBot. Create a buildbot account, make sure /usr/local/bin is on the PATH of the buildbot account, and issue the commands shown there.

Yes thanks this is what I was thinking "set up a build slave for Python testing", No reason this would not work on a leopard 10.6 machine?

Thanks
