I grabbed the latest and final 1.5.2 and compiled it on Solaris 2.6 using the
SunPro C compiler.
It passes every test except 'popen2'. It gives me an Assertion Error. Here is
part of the test run.

Has anyone solved this?

Thank you,
Lance

I think that has been solved. An update to the CVS tree has been
made on Apr. 20, which means it isn't in the 1.5.2 distribution.
From the python-checkins list:

Update of /projects/cvsroot/python/dist/src/Lib
In directory eric:/projects/python/develop/guido/src/Lib

Modified Files:
popen2.py
Log Message:
Calling _cleanup() does not guarantee that all processes have
terminated; this makes the final assert in the self-test code fail if
the parent runs faster than the children. Fix this by calling wait()
on the remaining children instead.

Which reminds me. I am very soon going to disappear on a
series of trips that will take me mostly off-line until June 1. (See
you in Paris! http://www.onera.fr/congres/jpf001/)

Could someone with access to the CVS tree create a selection of
essential patches and put it up on e.g. starship?
The webmaster at python.org will gladly link to it.

Bah, that's nothing... the popen2 test hangs under BeOS. :-)
