I think this surprised many of us, as no one on the list seems to have
thought of that use case. Trac subclasses FieldStorage to get behaviour
more in line with cgi.py. We don't have any prohibitions on subclassing,
so although we didn't foresee this usage I think it is still legitimate.
I don't have a clue what the "trac" software is, but I imagine that even
for this particular piece of software, I may be able to come up with
some form of emulation (e.g. using __setattr__ hooks) that still keeps
it working with the patch. The question is of course, where does it stop?
Trac is bugtracker / wiki that seems to be getting some traction. ;)
It's also a frontend to subversion (and other version control systems,
using plugins), which I think is responsible for its explosive
popularity. It may well become the premier application using (but not
exclusively dependent on) mod_python. I haven't used it (I'm waiting for
a stable darcs plugin), but you can get an idea of its features here:

This definitely a project we don't want to break. If I get a chance I'll
try to set up a test bed to make sure future release candidates are
compatible.
Do we have any trac developers on this list?
