 I got 2.5.2 building again.  I think the [http://ports.haiku-files.org/browser/haikuports/trunk/dev-lang/python/python-2.5.2-haiku.diff?rev=178 patch] is ok now.
-I will update this entry in a couple days, as I'm heading out of town till.  Don't forgot to install a previously working python, in order to build python, I think this is what was tripping me up for the last few build attempts.

+TODO: We should look into fixing regrtest.py to skip the tests listed at the end of make test's output, and work on fixing any modules that should work on Haiku but aren't yet working.

-I think locked up running the test_socket... so I ctrl-c'd it and then it spit out the results block.  Looks like we can probably add a list of tests to skip into regrtest.py, but probably want to make sure they are ones we don't need.

Sometimes it gets past test_socket only to error out on test_threads, so we have issues on both of these.
