Yes, I noticed that. But as you mentioned that you followed the instructions in the README, if you could succeed in building, we at least have one bug (fix) with the compilation process mentioned in the readme. HP-UX being such an uncommon platform, the python core developers have not spent much time fixing bugs in that (unless raised and provided the fix with patch which did not affect any other platform). > 2.)

Also, I think, your situation is the right candidate to try out ActiveState distribution, if they claim to support HP-UX.
