I do recall one of the warnings on Python 2.0 is that it is less tolerant 
(esp in the socket libs) of not properly wrapping lists.  In some cases you 
could pass  func( foo, bar )  when it should have been  func( (foo, bar) ).  
Perhaps you should check if this is the case for the line causing errors, 
because that is the error you would be likely to see.

Very odd.  I had no problems compiling Python 1.5.2 under Solaris 2.7.  
However, I never used a python script to build it.  Just "configure" (with 
some switches), and "make".
