What is the status on this issue?  Can I safely assume that Python 2.5.2 and
Python 2.6 will be able to produce and consume eggs correctly on Mac OS X? 
Is there a bug tracker where I can check the status of this issue?

For reference, here is the tracker entry in the allmydata.org tahoe issue
tracker:
