Comment (by jctull):

 Here is the workaround for the python plugin failure from the dev list.
 This manual fix can be applied by those who are looking for a short-term
 fix. This workaround was provided by William (kyngchaos), and it may help
 whoever works on the code:

 The paths all depend on where you have your source and where you install
 Qgis, so I won't give explicit paths here.  After installing, open the
 qgis app package (right-click, Show Package Contents).  Dig into
 Contents/MacOS/share/qgis/python/qgis to find core.so and gui.so.  (I do
 this to easily get the path so I don't have to type it in the Terminal)

 In a Terminal, type

 otool -L

 (that's a space after the L) and drag gui.so to the Terminal window.
 Press return.

 Towards the top should be a line for libqgis_gui.0.11.dylib and a line for
 libqgis_core.0.11.dylib.  Type:

 sudo install_name_tool -change [/path/to/libqgis_gui.dylib]
 @executable_path/lib/libqgis_gui.dylib -change
 [/path/to/libqgis_core.dylib] @executable_path/lib/libqgis_core.dylib
 [drag gui.so to Terminal]

 for the /path/to/libqgis_*.dylib above, copy and paste what you found for
 the full path to each library in otool -L.

 For example *this is just for mine* :

 sudo install_name_tool -change /Users/Shared/src/qgis/svn/qgis_r8652/
 build-leo/src/gui/libqgis_gui.0.11.dylib
 @executable_path/lib/libqgis_gui.dylib -change
 /Users/Shared/src/qgis/svn/qgis_r8652/build-
 leo/src/core/libqgis_core.0.11.dylib
 @executable_path/lib/libqgis_core.dylib
 /Applications/qgis0.11.0.app/Contents/MacOS/share/qgis/python/qgis/gui.so

 Do the same for core.so.  You can just up-arrow to get the previous
 command and change gui.so to core.so at the very end of the command.  It
 doesn't matter that core.so doesn't have libqgis_gui.dylib in it, it will
 ignore that.

 Run otool -L on them again to verify the change.
