New buildfarm member Narwhal is failing the PL regression tests for
Python on REL8_1_STABLE. This appears to be because it's running
Python 2.5 (the causes being a deprecated module - whrandom - and some
changed messages).
The former problem was fixed by Peter, and the latter by Tom but both
only for 8.2+`- any reason this wasn't backported to 8.1? I couldn't
find anything in the archives.

The question in my mind is this: how much do we back-patch to cover new
and incompatible releases of software we depend on? Python 2.5 was
released on 19 Sept 2006, long after Postgres 8.1. I guess you could
make a case to say that we should back-patch to the release immediately
before the library change.
(BTW, it is possible to include python only in certain branches in your
buildfarm client - examples are in the config file).
