On http://www.python.org/download/mac/ we read

The Leopard wiki page (http://wiki.python.org/moin/MacPython/Leopard)
says
> Python releases have progressed far enough that it may be worth

> conflicts between MacPython installations and Mac OS X development
> tools, such as problems building PyObjC applications in Xcode. Mac
> OS X 10.5.x (Leopard) comes with the 2.5.1 Python distribution pre-
> installed, with an integrated Python Launcher.app. At the time of
> Leopard's launch, the official release version of Python was also
> 2.5.1. So some users may wish to avoid installing the pythonmac.org
> distribution and use the built-in python.

Is this still current? Have the issues been resolved to the point of
being able to unconditionally recommend say v2.5 or 2.5 on OX10.5?
