Hi, My buildbot has been failing for some time because of these 2 issues, both related to the fact that tests are hanging when run as a service (and hence have no display to open GUI elements on). Both issues have patches, and as far as I am aware, the patches fix the issues reasonably well. What can I do to move these 2 issues forwards? As things stand, my buildbot is not providing a lot of value on the 3.x branch :-(

http://bugs.python.org/issue9055 is marked as a 2.7 issue only, perhaps fixed by Tim Golden's committed patches. Should it be re-versioned for 3.1/2? There is no patch file attached, though perhaps the code in Yamamoto's message is meant as such (but for which version?). So the first thing you could do is clarify the current status and remaining issue on the tracker.

http://bugs.python.org/issue9931 by Yamamoto is marked for all 3 versions. It seems to be a similar issue, though marked 'test' rather than 'ctypes'. It does have a patch by him apparently based on his previous comments. The issue has no responses and needs a patch review. So the first thing you could do is to provide one;-). If it looks great (no changes that you can think of) and works great, say so. Then it can move on to commit review stage.

PS. Providing links like the above makes it easier for multiple people to take a look and respond.
