My Qgis build links directly to Python 2.5, so as long as that is  
installed, it should work.  It will completely ignore 2.6.

There is also an updated GDAL framework available that fixes a couple  
Tiger issues that would affect Qgis (this was after I updated Qgis).

I don't do all-in-one builds because the frameworks are shared between  
many different GIS programs I also package.  Tom Elwertowski does the  
Mac all-in-one builds, but he's been quiet on those lately.

Theory of the Universe

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly  
what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly  
disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely  
inexplicable.  There is another theory which states that this has  
already happened.
