One more thing, as I tried to rebuild whole python I've encountered on following problem:

building '_multiprocessing' extension

*** WARNING: renaming "_multiprocessing" since importing it failed: ld.so.1: python: fatal: relocation error: file build/lib.solaris-2.9-sun4u-2.7/_multiprocessing.so: symbol sem_timedwait: referenced symbol not found

so I had to commented out HAVE_SEM_TIMEDWAIT from setup.py, see:
             elif platform.startswith('sunos5'):
                  macros = dict(
                      HAVE_SEM_OPEN=1,
                      HAVE_FD_TRANSFER=1
                      )
                      #HAVE_SEM_TIMEDWAIT=0,
                  libraries = ['rt']
thanks
