One thing I have noticed is that the pythons that come with the OS's or in
precompiled packages have a tendency to fail on CR/LF endings, while the
default compile of python are happy with them. I have absolutely no idea how
this happens, because I can't find any settings that change this behaviour,
so it's all very strange.
I therefore always end up compiling python from scratch, since it's so
trivial anyway.
