All the dbapi20 tests seem to require a working db server.
The numeric parsing testcase (test_numeric_parse.py) actually fails, for which
I've filed a bug upstream.

Converting this seems to be a major PITA. They are in python docs tex dialect
requiring tex style definitions from python 2.5 tools that no longer exist for
2.6 and even for 2.5 and F10 were specifically excluded from the fedora
packages. The only sane way (without major patching) that I've come up with
would require getting these in the buildroot
http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/release25-maint/Doc/texinputs/howto.cls
http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/release25-maint/Doc/texinputs/pypaper.sty
http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/release25-maint/Doc/texinputs/python.sty
and then pdflatex  generating a single pdf.
Couldn't get a proper html output with latex2html even with the styles present.

There might be a better way using existing in fedora tools, but I can't find
it.
