I want us to be very careful about 2.6.4. This isn't a normal bug fix release, it's specifically there to remove the brown paper bag of 2.6.3 from our heads. So let's be conservative and fix this one in 2.6.5. Can we get the readline patch reviewed as well. It was applied to trunk already: http://svn.python.org/view?view=rev&revision=74970 It's marked for backport to 2.6 as "needs review": http://bugs.python.org/issue6877 It fixes a BusError crash that was just swiped under a rug by disabling the build in setup.py. :-)

I'm disinclined to approve this for 2.6.4 since it is not a regression
in 2.6.3. It seems fine to me for 2.6.5 though.
