The Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.2 packages in Ubuntu 11.04 already have essentially the same patch that I posted, so folks using Python 2.6 from the operating system will not have a problem. Without this patch in our repository, folks building Python 2.6 from source will have to be aware of it.

So let them use Python 2.6 from Ubuntu. Case closed!

cheers

Antoine.
