I know that one must be absolutely "modern" (using Python 2.7.x,  too bad for
the others) but the master version of QGIS for Mac Os X is based on the

Leopard (10.6) it is the version 2.6.

Mmm, 2.6 I would not call that modern. Better try to do a pull request to Apple (mmm, can not find there repo on Github) for 2.7 or 3.0 ;-)

But seriously, if (as a dev) you run a system with a 2.7 python yourself, it is just hard to keep up with all the little tricks you have to do just to be backwords compatible. You just do not see when it goes wrong in 2.6...

And agreed, your fix seems trivial, and I think that is the power of using OpenSource and Github. You can have a look into the source, and even better (in your case) fix it \o/

Please clone the QGIS repo in github:

https://github.com/qgis/Quantum-GIS/blob/master/python/console/console_output.py#L135

push your fix and then ask for a so called 'pull request'. If your fix does not have any by-effects for other (really modern) python versions, I think the devs are really happy to add it.

I'm happy to help you with the Github stuff, or if it is really too much fuss for you now, I can do this for you.

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde

ps the hill can be a little steep to add these little fixes for the first time, but QGIS get's only better by this.
