A new build of CPython 2.7.6 with Mercurial 2.8.2 has been uploaded
to sources. I’ve skipped the contrib route this time as there
seems to be an error at the final stages of trying to update the
log every time I’ve tried.

I’ve chosen the archive format so it can be extracted to some
preferred root:
ROOT=/ # or other file system
disk/mkext -ud $ROOT < cpython-386.arch
Python will build for arm, but there are a few bugs in the
subprocess module that still need to be fixed before it can
be released.
The hg sources do not include a patch to setup.py that is
required. The patch has been submitted and will hopefully
find its way into a later release:
% hg diff
diff -r ca387377df7a setup.py
