If you use the binary installer to install to a UFS filesystem 
in stead of an HFS+ filesystem the applets will not work.
The reason is that the #! lines refer to "python" in stead of 
"Python".

Does this problem still exist?

In any case, it doesn't appear that urgent, so lowering its
priority.

UFS support in Mac OS X seems to be in legacy/deprecated mode. Should we
close this one?

Python is just one of the many things that will fail on a case sensitive 
root filesystem. I'm not particularly interested in fixing this issue. 
This doesn't affect Python 3.x because the code that causes this problem 
is not present in 3.x.

Setting state to pending with resolution won't fix.
