Ok, imagine for a moment that your patch is accepted and applied. 
Python runs in a wide variety of systems. Now imagine that, in a few of 
them, it stops running. What would you say to defend your changes? "I 
have no idea why, but it works for me!". I have no doubt your changes 
would be reverted in two nanoseconds, and your chances of getting a 
second patch accepted would drop near zero.

I understand your project and hope you successfully complete your 
goals, but it seems it's not madure enough yet. At this stage, blogging 
about your progresses and writing some sort of recipe would be more 
adequate, until you get a system that builds cleanly and passes most 
(if not all) test cases. This applies to your other pending patches too.

PS: I don't know the English term, but here in Argentina (Spanish) the 
way you "fix" bugs would be called "chapuza". No offense intended.
