"python2.7" is an idea but that may prevent backporting. Is it important as distribution to do this? (Not all previous release had python2.7 for sure) Please talk to other devs maintaining python packages. I tends to limit changes to the minimal friction path. We do need to backport for security fixes. getmail usually just pushes newer upstream release as security upload recently. (Yes, this is not normal for security but this is what happened.) Please make such decision not by your preference but with consensus. Having said this, I will let you have commit access. YES #!/usr/bin/python2 This fix can be applied... Regards, Osamu
