Is this patch published anywhere? It would be a good idea to do so for all these bot owners who wants to use that bug related python version.

Yeah, River patched the toolserver version to fix the known unicode problem

Hi folks,
there is py 2.7.1 running on toolserver and I found this version does not trigger unicode bug #3081100 whereas py 2.7.1 downloaded from www.python.org has still this bug. Are there any changes or fixes made on ts version?
Greetings xqt

Hello all,
This is especially relevant for all interwiki bots on the toolserver. Do *not* use python 2.7 for those bots.
There is a bug [1] in the unicode normalization that causes page titles to become mangled [2]. This, in turn, results in botwars [3]. As such, interwiki bots on wikipedia should use a python version that does not have this bug, which means using a version before 2.6.5.
Although you will get a warning message when using a python version that exhibits this bug, the bot will still work. As such, you may very well cause bot wars if you start using py2.7.
Best regards, Merlijn van Deen

The version on the toolserver just uses the unicode library from 2.6 instead of 2.7. By now, a fix has been backported to the 2.6/2.7 repositories, so it is possible to do a manual checkout and compile a correct version.
Best regards, Merlijn
I downloaded r2.7.1 (timestamp 27.11.2010) from www.python.org but this bug is still there. Where do I find the correction patch?

Could anybody compile the backported source to distribute it?

Yes, but I see no need for this. Pywikipediabot works fine with python up to 2.6.5, which is available for download at http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.5/ (downgrade) and with 2.5.5 (side-by-side installation), which is available for download at http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.5/ .
The bug has been marked as a security fix (as it can cause segfaults), which means it will, at the very least, be included in 2.7.2. It's not clear to me whether there will be an 'official' 2.6.7, but someone might create a bugfix release for it (for example, Debian).
Best regards, Merlijn
Yes but (as per Merlijn) it's not in the code yet:
