If we're only talking binary releases, then I don't really care, but please don't make this change for the source releases. There are several platforms on which Python is supported which do not support bzip2 out of the box (Solaris, as a prime example). It adds just that much more heartache to get python installed on such a system.
agreed. it may come as a surprise to some people, but Linux is not the only Unix system out there. Python works extremely well on non-Linux systems too...
