Will they do it for 8.0 anyway??? I'd love to hear them say yes, but I
have heard nothing of the sort.

by the way, in regard to dueling pythons, I have found that If I try to
build a Makefile to buld an extension using: make -f Makefile,pre.in
boot, I get a makefile that is using Python 1.5, when what I want is
Python 2.1. Both are installed, as I want the Redhat tools to work.

How can I get this to work??? It's not obvious to me what I would change
in Makefile,pre.in

-thanks,
