This issue may not provide the information you're looking for, but it is related: http://bugs.python.org/issue14873 It has a patch from a few days ago awaiting review. Incidentally, the UNIX-specific information added in http://hg.python.org/devguide/rev/80358cdac0a6 might be good to link to in the UNIX section here: "Do take note of what modules were not built as stated at the end of your build. More than likely you are missing a dependency for the module(s) that were not built, and so you can install the dependencies and re-run both configure and make (if available for your OS)." (from http://docs.python.org/devguide/setup.html#unix ) Or else move the UNIX-specific information into a subsection of the UNIX section. --Chris
