Ok, so I finallly upgraded my Macbook 10.5.8 to OS X 10.6.8. 
(besides from a slow startup and the mouse being not responsive for a while
this seems to work)

But now I a trying to download Csound from Sourceforge. Weird things happen.
I cannot download a version for OS X 10.6.8, download stops but the file is
way too small.
So I tried csound5.19.02-OSX10.7-universal. This download works, but after
installing it and running csound in the terminal I get only : Illegal
instruction. 
So I guess the OSX10.7 version is not compatible with 10.6.8?

I downloaded csound5.19.01-OSX10.6 and that works on the command line.

But in Python, 'import cnsd' gives 'no module named csnd'.

I have struggled with this before...

The python module is installed in 

/Library/Python//site-packages

check what you have installed in your disk. If the  dir does match your version,  copy the contents of the latest version installed
into the correction  dir.

Python is looking in the right folder now, the import of csnd works, but now
it complains about _csnd.so 'no suitable image found'. (seen that one before
also)

Where is the correct version of csnd.py and _csnd.so installed?

it should work with 2.7. It does work here in my machine with MacPython 2.7.3.
It used to work with 2.6, but it now seems that that's not the case anymore. Anyway, if you want to use Python, it's best to have the latest Python 2 version anyway.

I installed python2.7.3-macOS10.6, so that is not the Mac python.
But this version is not installed in /library/python/2.7
It is installed in
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7.
I think this is a well known problem with python 2.7 on Mac
So I created 'Users/richard/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages' and
put the contents of my existing site-packages (that contained csnd.py and
_csnd.so) in there.
But apparently this was not the correct version.

It's messy...

This is the Python you need to install:

http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/python-2.7.3-macosx10.6.dmg

This is the one I have and it is working here.

Let me try reinstalling it to see if I can replicate. Could you paste here the error message?

I have re-installed Python and it still works. I wonder if you should try replicating what I have here:

If you create the directory /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/, then the Csound installer will see it and put the links above when
you install it.

The original error message was:
import csnd
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
  File "/Users/richard/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/csnd.py",
line 5, in 
    import _csnd
ImportError:
dlopen(/Users/richard/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/_csnd.so,
2): no suitable image found.  Did find:
	/Users/richard/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/_csnd.so:
unknown file type, first eight bytes: 0x7F 0x45 0x4C 0x46 0x01 0x01 0x01
0x00

(After that I found another version of _csnd.so in a dir somewhere and
overwrote the original, which made it worse. But that's not relevant, I
thought that a fresh install of csound would correct that)

Looks like things are not in the right places. Try following my suggestion, it will place things correctly.
