I am planning to build Python 2.5 (final version) on TH builders.

This will cause major problems on your systems - you will not be able
to run software, which is not rebuilt against Python 2.5. This situation
is caused by bug in Python prior to version 2.5c2, which fixing required
changing bytecode magic number (#1520864).

Therefore, please do not upgrade your Python related software on TH based
systems for few days till migration to Python 2.5 is finished.

Sorry for any inconvenience,
