I would appreciate it if somebody running the final version of Snow Leopard could post what version of Python is included with the OS (on a Terminal, just type "python --version")
Thanks!

Apple says that developers should use an alternative scripting language going forward, such as Python 3, but it's worth noting that Python 3 also does not come preinstalled on macOS. Developers can run the stub /usr/bin/python3 in Terminal, but it prompts users to install Xcode developer tools, which includes Python 3.
Mac OS X Snow Leopard (version 10.6) is the seventh major release of macOS, Apple's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers.
5.1. Getting and Installing MacPython. macOS used to come with Python 2.7 pre-installed between versions 10.8 and 12.3. You are invited to install the most recent version of Python 3 from the Python website (https://www.python.org).
It ships with both python 2.6.1 and 2.5.4.

Probably the biggest reason I went and upgraded this morning, it's not 2.6.2, but it's close enough.
