Another one to keep an eye on is #2327 regarding the RADIXCHAR, I suspect as
things move forward with the locale kit that this maybe be addressed.

Funny you should mention python-2.6.2, i just built it with your wchar fix
in place, but seems no new tests have passed. I thought it might affect
test_mhlib.py but it didn't.
Python-2.6.2 is now one of the OptionalPackages so you can add it to your
userbuild script and then the regression tests will be place in
/boot/common/lib/Python-2.6.2/test/
Here's the tracking page I made for the python tests a few months ago:
