6.1   Where can I submit/view bugs for Python?
The Python project uses Roundup for bug tracking. Go to 
http://bugs.python.org/ for all bug management needs. You will need to create 
a Roundup account for yourself before submitting the first bug report; 
anonymous reports have been disabled since it was too difficult to get in 
contact with submitters. If you previously had used SourceForge to report 
Python bugs, you can use Roundup's "Lost your login?" link to obtain your 
Roundup password.

Make sure you are using the latest version, at least for that series (2.4.x, 
2.5.x, 2.6.x), and make some attempt to search the database to see if its a 
known bug.

You might also make sure that your linux and windows systems have the same 
version of Python installed.  For instance, If they are sharing files created 
by the Pickle module, this can fail if the Pickle format was updated with the 
newer version.

Do include some example code in your bug report.  Share with this list if you 
are uncertain about anything.

Which reminds me, I have a glitch that bombs with the cStringIO module but 
works with StringIO.  Thanks!

Thanks for your support in making Python better!
