Python 2.6.1 is what ships on OS X 10.6 and we want to support mozboot there. We include 3 fixes: 1) optparse doesn't like unicode as its initial argument 2) __init__(**kwargs) doesn't like unicode keys 3) subprocess does not have check_output We took the easy solution of removing unicode_literals. This should have no significant consequences.
mozboot - Bootstrap your system to build Mozilla projects ========================================================= This package contains code used for bootstrapping a system to build mozilla-central. This code is not part of the build system per se. Instead, it is related to everything up to invoking the actual build system. If you have a copy of the source tree, you run: python bin/bootstrap.py If you don't have a copy of the source tree, you can run: curl https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/default/python/mozboot/bin/bootstrap.py | python - The bootstrap script will download everything it needs from hg.mozilla.org automatically!
