Hi Wouter.

You'r right, the installer depends on python 2.5.

It could be done, but the size of the installer might be increased
substantially (~ x2) as all the platform dependent packages (from the
top of my head: bzr, pycrypto) must be compiled for both python 2.5
and 2.6.
Also I don't know if all the packages need to be rebuilt with 2.6 in
order to work with the MacPython version.

I think the safest bet is to force the use of the default python2.5
installation in the current OS X 10.5 installer, and possibly provide
a 2.6 installer.

Cheers,
