I couldn't let Trent have all the fun. http://docs.python.org/dev/

Cool! Thanks to Trent for sparking Neal, and thanks to Neal for feeling the fire under our arses for getting this done.

And hopefully of interest to many here:

http://docs.python.org/dev/results/ These are the results of svn update, configure, build, test, install and the doc run. Run on the PSFs box and updated every 12 hours. I currently have it send mail to me if there are any test failures. I will probably update that to python-checkins or maybe even python-dev depending on what people think. I'm not likely to be around much for the rest of the year, so I don't want to turn it on just yet.

python-checkins seems the most reasonable. But I would have no problem with it going to python-dev.

The script should be updated to handle more types of failures. configure should probably specify CFLAGS of --std=c89 and maybe others too.

With the recent issues in the compiler not being C89 compatible that would probably be good.
