[Christian Faulhammer]

As you can see, Python 2.6.5 runs perfectly fine, while Python 3.1.2 fails.

Thanks for the report. Will try to fix as soon as possible.

In the meantime, I'd welcome any tips you've got on I can run tests against every Python out there.

[Christian Faulhammer (fauli)]

If I understand you correctly you want to have those tests automated on different versions? I would recommend latest 2.x and 3.x versions, in Gentoo we have a set up that allows building for multible ABIs in parallel, we got that error on automated test runs of the tree (tinderboxing).

I was getting more failures as well, but turned out my local 3.2 version was in a slightly broken intermediate state from Victor Stinner's encoding work, head is fine apart from this.
