On this page, when I click the 'sign in' link, I see the page 
  http://scan.coverity.com/maintenance.html
which says:

"""

Could it be that they were a little bit early with the press release,
and the rung2 scanner is not yet active?

Seems they are referring to the results of the rung 1 run (what ever 'rung' means ;-).
With the account Neal made me some months ago, I can login on this page:

   http://scan.coverity.com:7475/

and see the scan results for Python.

Last run at 2007-12-27: 11 Outstanding Defects, 6 of them marked "uninspected",
3 marked "pending", and 2 marked "bug".
