Previously we rolled back Joss's patch because Matthias didn't like it, and it took him several months to write a new one. Plus, Joss's patch actually worked, and formed the basis of a system that's now in common use (python-support). Since then, a new policy -- from Matthias -- has made that patch invalid. It's unfair (at best) to demand someone write a replacement Real Soon Now, when this *is* a replacement, and not soon at all, and pycentral got a head start because it designed the new policy. -- Joe Wreschnig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
