Comment(by fbissey):
All right. Very busy week so far. I am removing the last patch and will
spin it in a separate ticket because Steve did more testing and it appears
that the test is somewhat random and was only working everywhere the same
with python 2.6 by sheer luck.
Steve had a few interesting suggestions for replacing the test but that's
clearly another ticket on which we'll forward people who touched that file
for comments.
