Skip, Some of the "new" bugs aren't new. In fact, most aren't. Sample (but not the only one): Float/long comparison anomaly http://python.net/crew/mwh/py/bug/513866 was submitted on 2002年02月06日. In fact, it looks like these are a random selection of bugs and patches. :-( --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
