Those of us on the Python4Linux issues are ironing these issues out.
Hopefully,
we will submit an SRPM that the major distributions will accept in order to
upgrade their next supported releases to 1.5.2 (Debian seems to have 1.5.2
available in their unstable release already).

Those wanting to know more can subscribe or see the archives:

Look at my posting titled "Evaluation packages now online", which will lead
you to packages for Redhat that will work for Python 1.5.2 (well, not glint
actually)
