This may be a bit premature. Last time the scan had a bunch of false-positives, so while it found errors it was a bit of work to go through. Not sure if there is anything new and useful lately. Then again free registration is cheap. > > Or would this be seen as favoring one vendor?

I just don't know how useful it would be. The results of the scan are what they are. Even if I am the only person with access, I have received enough PyCon financial aide to be at the sprints for the first two full days so I can always dole out responsibilities on the spot. -Brett > > Or not. > > regards > Steve > > > On Jan 19, 2011, at 3:27 PM, Brett Cannon wrote: > >> OK, I will handle it. >> >> On Wed, Jan 19, 2011 at 11:21, Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> wrote: >>> My coverity contact wrote back: >>> >>> """ >>> Sure, the main contact is David Maxwell and he's reachable via >>> s...@coverity.com though if that doesn't work you can always just try >>> dmaxw...@coverity.com - they can give you access and update ... >>> whatever - he also is more up to date on where we are in moving the >>> open source >>> projects over to our new version (there's a pretty time consuming migration >>> involved among all the projects).
