With 2.6.34.3-37.fc13.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 10 21:09:58 UTC 2010 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux,

could not do simulate: sugar-toolkit-0.89.3-1.fc14.x86_64 requires
python(abi) = 2.7

Even after installing Python-2.7.tgz.tar with make install,
Python 2.7 (r27:82500, Aug 19 2010, 18:44:48)
[GCC 4.4.4 20100630 (Red Hat 4.4.4-10)] on linux2

yielded:
