Are we on track to release 2.6.4 final this Sunday or do we need another rc?
Yesterday, Tarek committed another setuptools related fix and said that he was going to run a bunch of build tests locally. Tarek, how did that go?
Please note that issue 7064 is still open as a release blocker. Can we close that (again) now?

I am still being very conservative about what goes in 2.6.4. Only regressions introduced in 2.6.3 are being accepted. There's plenty of time after that for patches to go in for 2.6.5.
It would be nice to get this issue resolved out for 2.6.4:
http://bugs.python.org/issue4120
The problem is that extensions built with 2.6.x will not work when used with a User-only installation of Python on machines that don't already have the MS VC90 CRT DLLs installed system-wide.
There's a patch available that appears to work, but someone with more manifest-Windows-DLL-fu than me will need to have a look at it.
One possible approach would be to use the patch in 2.6.4 and then continue digging deeper until 2.6.5 is released.
