Should we just use stable CPython only? It's confusing to see failing
test suites just because CPython might break (or even if it doesn't,
you might be thinking it does).
Tempita also works fine on my system, I pushed a fix for that. It
seems there's a problem with the memoryview tests in 2.4 though,
because the PyBUF_* flags aren't available there. I'll try to add a
2.4 build to my Jenkins.
