- Python 2.6 (32bit) (provided by OS X) for extensions
- Known issues
- clipboard conflict with XQuartz (pastes as bitmap)
- language detection is faulty

- Mavericks: XQuartz conflict with multi-monitor setups
- Scripts & Resources in 'packaging/macosx'
- no support for Mac OS X >= 10.6 (can't be used as is to create new packages)
