It is working in the 1.3 trunk of numpy on Linux and at least 32 bit
OSX, but there are still some bugs to be shaken out of numpy. Since
scipy 0.7 beta 1 has just been tagged hours ago we can hopefully
attempt to switch once numpy 1.3 and scipy 0.7 are out.
There is also an updated pyprocessing available for Python 2.6 which
we might want to switch to since the current one we have in tree is
broken (segfaults!) on FreeBSD.
Aside from that we have some issues with the "with" keyword in 2.6 via
either matplotlib or our matplotlib wrapper, but there is a ticket for
it.
Sympy 0.6.3 in 3.2.1.a0 works with Python 2.6 - all the other Python
stuff needs to be tested but I am certain that most issue we find will
be fixed upstream, so it would be a good time to upgrade the various
packages we ship. What could go wrong :)

Well, some problems to be worked out, but we will get there.
