Compiling Python for BeOS 5

[Chris Herborth]

According to Jerome Chan  <eviltofu at rocketmail.com>:

> test_p_open2.py.

AFAIK this is a common problem (and doesn't mean anything is wrong with
your build of Python).

This is odd; both of these should work.

Just follow the directions? :-)

I haven't had time to keep up with the changes in the Python source.  Both
threading and struct should work fine...
