>>> from _multiprocessing import SemLock

ImportError: cannot import name SemLock

Same works fine for 2.6 and 3.1 under Ubuntu.

P.S.
I tried this import under python2.7 installed from packages provided in Natty, and bug is not present, so it's only issue in Maverick.

Will this be fixed like it was for the Python 3 binaries (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.1/+bug/556477)?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
