Tests came out fine for me. A bunch skipped, but no errors.

I say yes. I'd much rather get the version in the book and have a lot
of people expose it to the elements than hope that you can stress it
against all the possible Python apps out there.

One thing. Jürg has a patch in Paldo that would affect how external
Python modules using distutils (i.e., setup.py) are built.

I'm not sure what it's for. I just browsed through the Python svn to
see if this was applied and found there was a checkin to the same spot
the other day with a bug about using --enable-shared. I don't know if
they're related.
