Given bug 944361 we should finally upgrade our OS X 10.6 machines to Python 2.7.3. That way they will be in sync with all the other machines in our cluster, and wouldn't produce strange results.

I will do this first on mm-osx-106-4 and test it deeply before deploying it to all of our 10.6 nodes.

Steps to do here:

1. Download and install Python 2.7.3 from http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/python-2.7.3-macosx10.6.dmg
2. $ curl -O http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
3. $ sudo python ez_setup.py

First pass works well. I will get it tested with all our testruns.

The above mentioned ez_setup.py is outdated. It's better to use a more recent version from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#installation-instructions

All machines have been upgraded to Python 2.7.3. Also the Mana documentation has been updated:
