You can check our archives (search for "python" a month or two back)
but it seems that the latest Python release removes rexec because it
had some fundamental security holes. That breaks plpython because it
depends on rexec. We could change plpython to an untrusted language
if someone cares enough to develop a patch to remove the use of
rexec. Otherwise I fear we'll have to pull it.
