[ngie-eign]

Running 'make clean' leaves libpython*.a behind. The attached patch removes it when make clean is run.

This was resolved on py3k, not trunk; the attached patch matches what was done on py3k.

[ned-deily]

A similar fix was applied and released in both 2.6.6 and 2.7.1.

Is svn not being updated anymore (in lieu of hg)?

[ned-deily]

No, the svn repos for python itself (at svn.python.org) are frozen as of the hg transition and are for historical reference only. See http://docs.python.org/devguide/ for more info on current practices.
