Ronald are you sure you will have time to fix these by then? The one I'm still uncertain on is the IDLE hang. If this only affects OS X 10.6 and there is no progress on it by the time 2.6.3 is otherwise ready, I'm willing to knock this down in severity.
I don't know for sure if I'll be able to fix these issues, I'll basicly just have time to work on this during the weekend.
* IDLE hang on OSX 10.6: I don't really know where to start looking, this may have something to do with Tk-Cocoa (which is used on 10.6 and not on earlier releases). There is a patch for Tk-Cocoa support on the tracker, but I haven't had time yet to fully test that.
* Compile error for ctypes on 10.6: Should be easy to fix. Apple has released the sources of the copy of libffi included with 10.6.1, I'll use that to work on a patch.
* Crash with urllib and threads on OSX 10.6: This probably requires rewriting some code using ctypes in C. The crash seems to occur when CoreFoundation tries to initialise itself after being loaded on a secondairy thread by ctypes. To make matters worse the ctypes type annotations in urllib are not correct for 64-bit code (but the crash happens in 32-bit mode as well)
