I've just checked in the following:

"""Crude hacks to make tests pass on Python 2.5, at least when 
using
--without-speedups (because Pyrex-generated code doesn't work right
for Python 2.5).  This code will probably also behave badly if you
use conditional expressions in a when() string.  But, if you avoid
conditional expressions and either leave out the speedups or compile
them with a Pyrex hacked for Python 2.5, you'll probably be okay for
now."""

Let me know if you have any problems.
