*shrug*, If I didn't care I would have made this change as soon as Nick said it was ok. Instead I declared I was going to and waited to make sure nobody else had any concerns. And once Holger said he did I said ok I won't do it. Maybe my mannerisms give the impression I don't but that's actually pretty far from the truth. For this particular change I originally created the pip commit that allowed it, and then again I created the setuptools commit, backporting hashlib into setuptools to support Python 2.4. I put a decent amount of effort into trying to make sure that nothing broke but in the end there were still concerns :) ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
