That's why I said "along". I'm still not willing to do that: making the source available is still inconvenient. More importantly, anybody redistributing Python binaries would have to comply also (e.g. on CD-ROMs or py2exe binaries); this is a burden I don't want to impose on our users. Fortunately, we don't have to, as the LZMA compression itself is in the public domain. For the Python wrapper, I hope that somebody contributes such a module under a PSF contributor agreement. If nobody else does, I may write one from scratch one day. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5689> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
