[Pythonmac-SIG] py2app and python versions

[Russell E. Owen]

I'm flexible: I'll use what py2app requires. I hope most other 
developers are in the same situation.

Python 2.6 sounds like an excellent choice to me. There are binary 
installers for most common 3rd party packages, so it's easy to adopt 
(unlike Python 2.7).
