Thanks a lot for these patches!

I have absolutely no clue about python and I don't think anyone in the
team does -- which effectively means that we need all the help we can get.

So, bear with me if this is a silly question: I was under the impression
that lenny will be shipped with both python 2.4 and 2.5 and that these
should be co-installable.
Are your fixes backwards compatible? It'd suck to fix this only to have
a bug report the day after "fails to run with python2.4" :)

Thanks,
Faidon
