Comment (by kyngchaos):

 > No additional python downloads, etc.

 Well, all plugins require Python.  And on OSX 10.4, an extra Python
 installation is required, Qgis does not use the system Python (too old).
 Qgis on Leopard does use the system Python.

 I guess I don't say outright on the download page that Python is required,
 just that Python is required for Python support.  I think I am a little
 confused about how "optional" it is, and got it wrong - if Qgis is built
 with Python support, then Python is required, it's the compilation stage
 where it's optional to configure for Python support.

 So, install Python.
