Off-topic: For what it's worth I agree with you. I've lost track of the number of times i've found bugs in open source software and been not-so-subtly told to contribute the fix myself. Or asked about something that I think should be included and been told to write it myself. As a consumer of software libraries it is not my job to fix them, maybe there will come a time when I choose to spend some time contributing back to the projects, but there is a lot of overhead involve in learning enough of how a library works to write patches and not everyone can spare this. Additionally some of us simply aren't smart enough to fix/add features we want. Your reasoning for wanting this functionality is reasonable, as is Malcom's explanation for why it has yet to be done (nobody has agreed on the best way to do it) Regards, Andrew Ingram --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
