Hi all,

I've just published few python rpms for the trunk source. You can download and 
install the packages from (either by hand or using yum/yast):

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/cavallo71:/opt-python-
interpreters/

The interpreters will install under so it will leave the system python 
untouched:

   /opt/opt-python-svnXXXXX-2.7a0

XXXXX is the svn revision. Once installed you can use them just sourcing the 
file:

$> . /opt/opt-python-svnXXXXX-2.7a0/opt-python-svnXXXXX-env.sh
$> python
Python 2.7a0 (trunk, May 24 2009, 21:18:39)
[GCC 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291]] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

There is a web page containing the build results (including a small simple 
smoke test):
   http://pyvm.sourceforge.net/

Module developer can use these build to test against the more up to date 
python source and anticipating bugs.
Developer can use it to run regression/integration tests.


I hope that will help,
Regards,
Antonio
