I wasn't pushing it anymore because there seemed to be no interest and Antoine 
attitude made me lose interest in contributing this.  No one liked to comment 
on my approach except Antoine and I had grown tired of his persistent 
negativity and aloof manners.  I might as well say that here that it is this 
kind of feedback that has turned me away from contributing to the project on 
several occations.  At CCP we have a heavily patched version of python that we 
have modified throug time to deal with real world projects.  I (and my company) 
genuinely like to contribute some of those improvements back to the trunk and 
regularly make efforts to do so (e.g. by taking the time and effort to port to 
python 3) but often they are met with with almost hostile negativity.  I hope, 
for the sake of Python, that I am the only contributor meeting this kind of 
attitude.

Antoine, please take the time to read what I posted here again.  I had a 
working patch, used in production. I uploaded, it, but when I got back home 
realized that an unrelated change was part of it.  Unable to change it from 
there I asked politely that you disregard that "unrelated" change while looking 
at the _substance_ of patch.  As you know, I am a committer and will polish 
things before checking them in, as anyone does.
How is that rude?  

The patch still stands. I on a poor internet in a Chinese hotel and will 
attempt to download and edit the patch so that the irrelevant change to the PC 
build solution should no longer need to hinder anyone from reading it.
