Hi Aahz, Yes thank you. To clarify the cvs dist README listed Python version 2.5 alpha 0. I should have realized before posting that replacing was a bad idea and another "slot-ed" version could be installed (package manager already has 2.3.5 & 2.4.1). I just installed 2.5a0 in an alternative directory (make altinstall) which build and tested out fine. I'm gonna now attempt to compile the module packages mentioned above. I'll report how it turns out for anyone interested. Thanks for your help!

Hi Thomas, Yes, ambiguity/abridgement usage is troublesome at times..lol. Yeah the iso is 2005.0 and the linux kernal is gentoo sources version 2.6.12.
