Two people had some difficulty building non-upgraded third-party modules with Py2.5 on 64-bit machines (I think wxPython was one of the problems) but they either gave up or switched machines before we could isolate the problem and say for sure whether Py_ssize_t was the culprit. I had remembered the PEP saying that there might be some issues for non-upgraded third-party modules and have wondered whether others were similarly affected.
