Comment 11 for bug 387946

As long as you don't shut out osx ;) - current OS X still defaults to python 2.5.

OTOH I didn't find yet an easy installer for UniConverter on OS X - so the number of mac inkscape users who have uniconv installed might be much smaller than on Windows, but those who manage the command line install are probably more likely to install python 2.6 as well.

But the MacPython webpage still warns about possible conflicts between MacPython (2.6.2) installations and Mac OS X development tools (Python 2.5.1), so I would not yet count on python 2.6 on OS X.
