Python 3.1 failed to build it due to import error of _inspect module and 
Python2.4 failed 'test_iterator.test_iter_broadcasting_errors'. Yet all 
tests passed on Python versions 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7.

PS I do want to go through the bugs I indicated but I have not found 
sufficient time.

Python3.1 error:
