:-) I've been running 2.2.2 only.

I just tried to run 2.3 and had some problems.  __all__ is ok, though.

The first problem is in regrtest.  This exception causes regrtest to crash.

test_pyexpat
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./Lib/test/regrtest.py", line 877, in ?
    main()
  File "./Lib/test/regrtest.py", line 229, in main
    ok = runtest(test, generate, verbose, quiet, testdir)
  File "./Lib/test/regrtest.py", line 392, in runtest
    output = cfp.getvalue()
  File "/home/neal/build/python/dist/src/Lib/StringIO.py", line 195, in getvalue
    self.buf += ''.join(self.buflist)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe1 in position 36: ordinal not in range(128)

I put a try/except around line 392 in regrtest and then had 2 failures:

test_pyexpat had no output (the unicode problem I guess) and test_rotor:

test test_rotor produced unexpected output:
**********************************************************************
*** mismatch between lines 2-3 of expected output and lines 2-3 of actual output:
- '\xb5q\x90\xa3\xe8IT\xd1\x07\xda\x1d\xdc\xdf'
+ 'qqqqq\x90
...

Some unicode problem complaining about these 2 chars:  \xcb and \xe2
which are printed as e umlaut and e circumflex.

Maybe this is just me again though?
