Why is an ancient version of OS X (10.6) using such an ancient version of Python? :-)

	$ sw_vers
	ProductName:    Mac OS X
	ProductVersion: 10.8.5
	BuildVersion:   12F45
	$ which python
	/usr/bin/python
	$ python --version
	Python 2.7.2

and that's the previous version of OS X (the current one is 10.9).
