Hi. I found a problem with Python 2.5.6. test_commands fails when 'make test'. bugs.python.org doesn't seem to have an option for Python 2.5 in "Versions:" drop-down menu when creating an issue. The problem seems to be the same as #11946. http://bugs.python.org/issue11946 I also made a patch for 2.5.6.

I think many people are still using Python 2.5 because of Google App Engine and fixing bugs with 2.5 is still helpful. Toshiyuki Ogura
