The wiki seems to be done, so sorry for the spam. python -v crashes due to infinite recursion (well, it tried to be infinite until it got a stack overflow :-) The problem seems to be that Lib/encodings/latin_1.py is loaded, but it tries to be converted to latin_1, so it tries to load the module, and ... Or something like that. See below for a call stack.
