Comment (by vince):

 As far as I know, I agree with the latest comment. One of the major point
 in using 2.6 rather than 2.5 is its solid 64-bit support (at least on Mac
 OS), whereas 2.5 is practically only usable in 32-bit.
 With python 2.6 and wxwidgets 64-bits built on Cocoa, I can get a 64-bit
 wxpython and thus a full 64-bit build of Grass. It is only experimental,
 though: I can't do a thing with it (it is not even possible to open a
 single file, the file selector code seems to be broken). I could not do
 that with Python 2.5.
 It will take a while for wxcocoa to evolve into a fully mature version
 but, at least, the possibility of a full, modern 64-bit app is
 demonstrated.
