Comment (by mcs):

 This has now been picked up for the TBB builds.  But on Mac OS 10.9.2 at
 least, there is no /usr/bin/python2 symlink, so obfsproxy is broken.  The
 tor/tor.real hack used in TBB on Mac OS makes the python2 unnecessary,
 because these two lines are executed before starting tor:

 export VERSIONER_PYTHON_VERSION=2.6
 export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes

 I do not know what the best solution is for this problem.  Mac OS 10.9.2
 does have python2.5 and python2.6 symlinks, but using either one of those
 always selects 64-bit execution.  Also, I have not checked to see what is
 present on older versions of Mac OS (TBB supports 10.6 and newer).
