This was backed out a few days after it landed because it was disrupting
the Oslo B2G work.
It just landed in inbound again.
|mach bootstrap| is now more intelligent about detecting $PATH issues
and telling you how to install a modern Python. While OS X should "just
work," some manual work may be required elsewhere.
As a friendly reminder, bootstrap support is best effort. Patches to
make it "just work" are more than welcome and will be swiftly reviewed
if they appear on my review queue. File under Core :: Build Config.

Just landed in inbound and making its way to a tree near you is the
requirement that you use Python 2.7.3 or greater (but not Python 3) to

Previously we required Python 2.7.0 or greater. This change has been
planned and agreed to for months and was recently unblocked to land.
Hopefully things should "just work" for most people. MozillaBuild
(Windows dev environment) is shipping Python 2.7.5 and most Linux
distros are running 2.7.3+. OS X, however, lags. OS X 10.8 ships 2.7.2,
so attempting to build out of the box will give you an error.
If your Python is too old, the build system will instruct you what to
do. For most people, run `mach bootstrap` and it will hopefully install
a modern Python on your machine. If that doesn't work, patches welcome
(code in /python/mozboot).
