Comment:

 A quick few points.

  * My patch removed 'set -e', which removed some degree of error checking.
 But I overcome that by adding an additional error check that the Itanium
 patch was installed (see lines line 100-103 of my patch). That has have
 been lost.
  * An extra line added in spkg-install
 {{{
 cp patches/readline.c-spacebug src/Modules/readline.c
 }}}
  has no check for an error. I think it would be wise to add one.
  * The spelling of my name in SPKG.txt is incorrect. I would not bother
 mentioning it, but since this update removes some of the error checking,
 you might as well fix it at the same time as fixing the error checking.

 It's good in general to see Python was updated. I've often wondered if an
 update would cure any problems, but I was put off of doing so by the
 number of patches which were applied.


 I've stuck my name as a reviewer, but it needs someone with OS X
 experience to look over this too.

 Dave
