In case anyone else is interested, a Python 2.6 developer environment
virtual machine is now available. It is based on Gentoo Linux, so it is
also a pretty good starting point for a Gentoo Linux system.

Linux 2.6.28
libc 2.9
gcc 4.3.3
Python 2.6.2
Subversion 1.6.2

Plus a whole bunch of Python packages already installed.


There are two forms, a native VMware tarball, and an OVF.

Available here:

ftp://ftp.pycopia.org/pub/python/vm/
or
http://www.pycopia.org/download/vm/

OVF path is:

http://www.pycopia.org/download/vm/pycopia-20090516/Pycopia.ovf


BTW, the files are huge so it's best to download in a place with
broadband Internet access. Home users might take 10 to 20 hours to
download.

An interesting bonus is the Linux kernel supports VMware VMI
(paravirtualization) and runs pretty fast on my system.
