Python-2.6.4 compiles without error , but the test suite fails:

1 skip unexpected on linux2:
test_tcl
make: *** [test] Error 1
The docs said that any failures were significant and for more info run:
./python Lib/test/test_httpservers.py .
This wouldn't run till I did make install, and the output was about
the same as above.
The 1 skip unexpected line is because I don't have X or tk8.
A search of the wiki only showed the package update, but I found some
references via Gentoo bugs.
It seems that Gentoo had disabled this and other tests to work
around this.
http://bugs.python.org/issue 4528 also has a reference to this
and it was still open.
So I'm a little confused . Python developers say to treat any failure as
serious but Gentoo disables a block of tests. The Python link above refers
to a svn version that worked. But too new can be as bad as too old.
Since it's already installed, I'm going to go and use it and see what happens.
Any feedback will be appreciated.
