Hm, you're right, DP4 is under NDA. Hadn't noticed that before, and it's also 
a bit strange for something which they gave away to every Mac developer on the 
face of the earth:-)

Could you be a bit more specific? Which tests failed? How? I've seen one 
problem with Python (but I only tried on DP3) and that was that you had to 
fiddle the Makefile if you built on an HFS+ partition (a name conflict between 
the python binary and the Python directory).

Also: I assume your building standard Python, or are you building MacPython 
from the CVS repository?
