Maybe. For Python 2.4, feel free to contribute a more complex test. For Python 2.5, I would prefer if the entire code around ccpython.cc was removed.

I submitted patch #1239112 that implements the test involving two TUs for Python 2.4. I plan to work on a more comprehensive patch for Python 2.5 but that will take some time.
