Aside from the very minor things mentioned by others, only two things
occur to me:

  - if you use the struct module and you're moving from SPARC to Intel the
    endianness of some things may change

  - if you call external shell commands, there are (usually minor)
    differences between the Solaris and GNU toolsets

Neither seems likely to be a big problem and of course both are "outside
Python" in a sense. Cheers,
