Good question! I'm not really aware of the complexities involved in merging between the various branches, but given the fairly trivial nature of the patch I figured there were potential advantages in both identical source and stubs. I'm happy to work the patch into either #ifdef based (ie, identical source, different stubs), or "unconditional" (both source and stubs different) if you prefer - and if so, which of those 2 do you prefer? On a related note, its obviously true that the same final installer will not be able to be shared between 2.x and 3.x, as is currently possible between pure-python installers between the 2.x series. However, this could be addressed in .py code at a later time while still allowing the same stub to be shared if that is desirable. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5076> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
