I believe only ST 2 on OS X relies on the system python - 2.6 or whatever python happens to be in the path. Sublime 3 ships with python 3.3 on all platforms.
edit:
If you are asking about the Floobits plugin, ST 2 on OS X shells out to the system python (because of SSL).

It appears to shell out on windows as well because it needs select. But windows doesn't have a system version of python.

#6So... shipped multiplatform code without testing it on Windows and Linux?

So does that fix that issue he says in the end is "still open", about select etc not being present on some platforms?
(I don't have Windows or GUI Linux available to check).

Importing select works in Sublime Text 3 on Windows. Unfortunately, many people still use ST2, since it's the default download on the Sublime Text website. It would make my life much easier if ST3 came out of beta.

Surely if they are devs they know they're not bound to the "default download".
I've been using ST3 dev builds for what, 2 years now? Rock solid all this time on OS X (with around 10 plugins). Only had one issue (high cpu load on search IIRC), that was corrected by going back to the ST3 beta for the 2-3 days it took for it to be fixed.

Interesting articles, though I'm not sure the critique applies here. It seems rather, ST2 ships with a separate and incomplete python environment. I don't think it 'embeds' python, does it?
