Well, solving #10227 would be nice, but I don't think it's critical either. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5231> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
