Attachment: python-2.7.2.p5_review.patch.gz

I posted a diff of python-2.7.2.p5 against python-2.7.2.p4 as an attachment. The actual spkg is available here.

Unfortunately it doesn't succeed in installing, and I don't understand why. I get

patching file Lib/distutils/command/sdist.py
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Assume -R? [n] 
Apply anyway? [n] 
Skipping patch.
2 out of 2 hunks ignored -- saving rejects to file Lib/distutils/command/sdist.py.rej
Error: Patch "../patches/Lib.distutils.command.sdist.patch" failed to apply.

But I didn't touch that patch.... Help would be appreciated, since I haven't updated spkgs very often.

Is it not possible to modify test.globs before it's run instead of patching Python?

David will move the doctest.py into the sage library and embrace & extend it there.

Upgrading a spkg requires posting a new .spkg file, not just a patch. Also, this should be rebased to #13013.
