BTW, why is OSX using such an ancient version of Python.  I believe only
2.7 and 3.3 are supported by the Python folks.

As I recall, Buildbot on each of the OS X builders was installed using
the version of Python that shipped with each system. Both the PPC and
32-bit Intel builders were running OS X 10.5, which shipped with Python
2.5. I think the 64-bit Intel builder was running OS X 10.6 so it should
be using Python 2.6, but it appears to be using 2.7.

Various Python environment variables (PYTHONPATH,
VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT, and VERSIONER_PYTHON_VERSION) are passed
down to each build step, which determines the default version and
library path. Unfortunately Buildbot doesn't have a way of un-setting
them. It also appends to PYTHONPATH no matter what.
