I don't understand this. The sources for the bz2 modules are exactly equal in both branches.

I know. Even the tests are equal. I didn't say that these files are to blame, I just said that the test is failing in Python 2.4.1 on Windows.

How do you check out the 2.4.1 from CVS?

Well, I've been updating Python from CVS from more than a year now and I doubt that this is the problem. After all, Python 2.3.5 is passing the regrtests, and last time I checked, so is Python 2.5a0. Python 2.4.1 was also passing all the regtests until recently (not sure exatcly when, but it could be about a month ago). But anyway, here is how I update my copy of Python 2.4 from CVS. Roughly, cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/python login [Enter] cvs -z7 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/python update -dP -r release24-maint python And it is, more or less, the same way I check out other branches. I will download the Python 2.4.1 source archieve and to build it to see what happens. I'll report back when I am done.
