[Python-Dev] 2.5.2 release coming up

[Neal Norwitz]

We need to fix the Windows buildbots.  2 tests are currently failing
for 2.5.2:  test_mailbox test_winreg

From:
  http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/x86%20XP-4%202.5/builds/107/step-test/0

The errors are:

  File "E:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\2.5.bolen-windows\build\lib\test\test_mailbox.py",
line 522, in test_consistent_factory
    msg2 = box.get_message(key)
  File "E:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\2.5.bolen-windows\build\lib\mailbox.py",
line 315, in get_message
    subpath = self._lookup(key)
  File "E:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\2.5.bolen-windows\build\lib\mailbox.py",
line 484, in _lookup
    raise KeyError('No message with key: %s' % key)
KeyError: 'No message with key: 1201127998.M194999P232Q203.buildbot'

and:  test test_winreg failed -- Not the correct number of sub keys

There are several warnings from the tests that we should try to clean up:
