I want us to be very careful about 2.6.4. This isn't a normal bug
fix release, it's specifically there to remove the brown paper bag

in 2.6.5.
Can we get the readline patch reviewed as well. It was applied to
trunk already: http://svn.python.org/view?view=rev&revision=74970
It's marked for backport to 2.6 as "needs review":
http://bugs.python.org/issue6877
It fixes a BusError crash that was just swiped under a rug by
disabling the build in setup.py. :-)
FWIW, the part of the patch that changes setup.py will be useful for
another comparison of Mac OS X release numbers. The line 1362 on the
trunk (1364 on the 2.6 branch) compares strings and, unfortunately,
'10.' < '8.' for Darwin 10 (Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard):
if os.uname()[2] > '8.':
So, it should be changed to:
if os_release > 8:
where ``os_release`` is introduced by the patch mentioned above as:
os_release = int(os.uname()[2].split('.')[0])
on the line 550 on the trunk.
