5.1.0.3 is reasonably compatible with python2.7, and the patches I sent to ryoon@
did not deprecate this, not to mention that many other patches are also ommitted.

The python issue is discussed on LibreOffice%lists.freedesktop.org@localhost in the thread
titled: Py_hash_t on python27

That is to say I'm running now with LO 5.1.0.3 and py27!
