Yes, it is current.  Apple has not yet shipped a version of 8.6 with OS 
X, so the Apple-supplied Python in current OS X releases use 8.5; OS X 
10.5 and earlier systems shipped only with 8.4.  At the moment, the 
Pythons for OS X provided by python.org installers still use 8.5 for the 
10.6+ installers and 10.4 for the 10.5+ installers.  Some third-party 
distributors of Python and Tcl/Tk for OS X are now using 8.6, e.g. 
MacPorts.
