AMD64 Snow Leop 3.x: many tests are not reliable (stable) on this platform. For example, test_logging.test_race() sometimes fail with PermissionError(1, "Operation not permitted: '/tmp/test_logging-3-bjulw8iz.log'"). Another example, test_asyncio.test_stdin_broken_pipe() sometimes fail with an assertion error because BrokenPipeError was not raised. Do we still support this old version of Mac OS X? Released in 2009, it is 5 years old. Is upgrading to Maverick (10.9) free and possible on old Mac computers? I don't have access to this old OS.
As a negative data point, my GF runs Snow Leopard by choice and will not upgrade that machine; we've both got Mavericks laptops and there are major regressions in the UI and OS behaviour (Apple UI and apps, not Python). I would imagine she's not alone in resisting change.
