I'm sorry, I haven't seen the above followup(s) as I'm not on libc-alpha@ 
and Andreas is on vacation right now.  I think we've said all we had to 
say.  As engineers we can deal with most things (though I'd have expected 
this from new contributors to glibc as well), so we'll manage.  Just try 
to not use python modules that aren't in the base distro of python or 
require native code parts.


Ciao,
Michael.
P.S: not looking forward to the helper scripts being rewritten into 
javascript 10 years from now because "it's more popular" ;-/
