Will SABnzbd run on 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?
The disk image contains instructions for 10.7 and newer, but I have not found anything mentioning 10.6.8...
Anyone know the answer?

Thanks!
Jonny

We stopped support of OSX before Mountain Lion.
It is still possible to run SABnzbd on SL, but you will need to install the prerequisites yourself.
Most notably: ActiveState's Python for OSX.
(Checkout INSTALL.txt)

The reason is rather mundane: nobody in the team has a Snow Leopard system available.
I have a working SL image on VMWare Fusion, but I got complaints
that the build result doesn't run on real hardware.

Thanks for the info, shypike. I'll reply here if I end up giving it a shot (but might not, since if it ain't broke, why fix it, esp. if it's unsupported).
