Using the binaries. Tried both 10.6 and 10.8 osx app versions. System running 10.8.5. Sage does not appear to load. The following  appears at the end of the log:
 
File "/Applications/Sage-5.12-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/sage/local/lib/python/sre_constants.py", line 18, in <module>
    from _sre import MAXREPEAT
ImportError: cannot import name MAXREPEAT
 
Preview: (hide)

Some Google searches seem to indicate that this could be related to the Python version in Sage being 2.7.5 but Mac system Python being 2.7.x for some x less than 4.   In principle this shouldn't matter, but perhaps something accidentally got linked to the system Python, not the Sage one.  As a workaround, you should be able to compile it from scratch, though you will need the (free with an Apple ID) Developer tools from Apple... I've asked the developer list at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-devel/KDSR-KGDLwc since this should not happen.
