Comment 17 for bug 362691

Here's a new debdiff against the package currently in Jaunty.

As for the invasiveness of the patch, I think it's sort of a means vs. ends type of thing - this one certainly makes more changes to the packaging, but the behavior is closer to how the package was intended to work when it was uploaded - i.e. with /usr/bin/python as 2.5 instead of 2.6.

With the other patch, I could certainly spit out a few commands to test that basic Xen operations still worked, but I am absolutely not comfortable making any assertions that the entire Python interface is as functional as it was under Python 2.5.

As for error verification, I've done some prodding at the test build in my PPA (which should be equivalent to this patch, modulo the changelog alterations). I've checked that all of the pycentral bits install only python2.5 variants, and that the shebang line on everything is either "#!/usr/bin/python2.5" or "#!/usr/bin/env python2.5".
