In theory yes, but I don't know if anyone has tested it yet.
Apple have updated the compiler (gcc), and probably the
system Python since Mac OS 10.5 Leopard.

On Leopard:

$ python --version
Python 2.5.2

$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-apple-darwin9
Configured with: /var/tmp/gcc/gcc-5465~16/src/configure
--disable-checking -enable-werror --prefix=/usr --mandir=/share/man
--enable-languages=c,objc,c++,obj-c++
--program-transform-name=/^[cg][^.-]*$/s/$/-4.0/
--with-gxx-include-dir=/include/c++/4.0.0 --with-slibdir=/usr/lib
--build=i686-apple-darwin9 --with-arch=apple --with-tune=generic
--host=i686-apple-darwin9 --target=i686-apple-darwin9
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)

So, try it and see? If you run into problems compiling, or running
the unit tests please let us know. Also in case it matters, was
this an update or a clean install of Snow Leopard?
