FWIW, this same problem exists with 2.7.1, compiled by myself, and only on some Solaris 10 boxes of ours that have not had a lot of recent patching.

==================================================================

On an old-ish Solaris 10 box:

% /tmp/py271test/bin/python -m test.regrtest
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/py271test/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 162, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name)
  File "/tmp/py271test/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 72, in _run_code
    exec code in run_globals
  File "/tmp/py271test/lib/python2.7/test/regrtest.py", line 211, in <module>
    from test import test_support
  File "/tmp/py271test/lib/python2.7/test/test_support.py", line 10, in <module>

==================================================================

On a modern Solaris 10 box patched 2 months ago:


% /tmp/py271test/bin/python -m test.regrtest
[ runs, takes too long, so we'll test the stuff that ]
[ imports socket ... ]
^C
