Still a problem after trying with the above fix:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".././tests/dbqp.py", line 39, in ?
    from lib.sys_mgmt.system_management import systemManager
  File "/home/hudson/hudson/workspace/drizzle-build-rhel-5.5-64bit/tests/lib/sys_mgmt/system_management.py", line 37, in ?

Thanks to derks for pointing out that uuid wasn't added until python 2.4 I'll have a solution for this, but how far behind is red hat with python 2.4? Don't they want try/except/finally, uuid, indoor plumbing and lights? ; )

[BJ Dierkes (derks)]

Minor correction to the above, uuid was introduced in 2.5. RedHat doesn't generally backport features unless absolutely necessary. That said, I just checked and uuid is a package in PyPi, and there is a python-uuid package in EPEL for python 2.4. You can simply install python-uuid from EPEL 5 and it should resolve this one.

[Patrick Crews (patrick-crews)]

Just threw the uuid module into the lib dir. Didn't want to place any requirement burdens on the user if it can be avoided.

[Lee Bieber (kalebral-deactivatedaccount)]

Still have problems, please run the complete test suite on rhel before commiting next patch (ssh pcrews@174.143.242.214)

Setting to "won't fix". We need at least python 2.5 (prefer 2.6 or better).
Just one of those things
