Hi All,

I fixed a couple of problems with Python 2.6.2 candidate 1 this morning, 
namely:
2009-04-13 build:
* Fixed problem with unicodedata module that prevented firefox building
* Fixed problem with use of popen() within python scripts

Python 2.6.2c1 has now been successfully used here to build Firefox - my 
previous 2.5.x builds could not be used to build Firefox.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Paul.
