I just had time to run a few quick install and trivial functional test 
(with iTunes and Safari).

The "outliers" seemed to work OK:

custom python3.1+ x86_64 and i386 on 10.6.2
       using Distribute 0.6.8 easy_install
Apple python2.3 ppc (G3) on 10.4.11
       using setuptools 0.6c11 easy_install

plus
MacPorts python2.6.4 on i386 10.6.2 (setuptools 0.6c11)

However, attempts on a 10.5.8 PPC (G4) failed with:

$ /usr/bin/python2.5
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Feb  6 2009, 19:02:12) 
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin

Same results with the python.org 2.6.4 on this machine either via 
setuptools easy_install or direct python setup.py install.
