There are 8 patches (Python-01-* to Python-08-*), some of them are simple build (01) or bug fixes (08) -- they may or may not be relevant to 2.5. But some of them are Solaris specific features that are not in the upstream code base (yet): 64-bit support, dtrace support, support for building python modules with either Sun Studio or gcc (and not only with the compiler used to build python itself). These are important patches that will need to be ported to 2.5. Laca
