That sounds very convenient, thanks.
Ok, welcome to the project! Please let me know whether
it "works".
It looks that it works, I seem to be able to add a new
attachment to the spwd patch- which I will do shortly.

Now that I'm part of the developers group I feel obliged
to tell a little bit about myself.
I'm a guy from the Netherlands, 30 years old, currently
employed at a company designing and developing front-
and mid-office web based applications (mostly). We do
this in Java (j2ee).
I'm using Python where the job allows it, which is much
too little IMO :) and for my private stuff, or hobby if
you wish.
I've been introduced to Python in 1995-6, I think, wanted
it at home too, ported it to AmigaDOS (voila AmigaPython),
and got more and more involved ever since (starting
mostly as a lurker in comp.lang.python).
My interests are broad but there's two areas that I
particularly like: internet/networking and web/browsers.
Over the course of the past few years I developed Pyro,
which many of you will probably know (still doing small
improvements on that) and more recently, Snakelets and
Frog (my own web server and blog app).
My C/C++ skills are getting a bit rusty now because I do
almost all of my programming in Java or Python, but it's still
good enough to be able to contribute to (C)Python, I think.
My interest in contributing to Python itself was sparked by
the last bug day organized by Johannes Gijsbers. I hope to
be able to find time to contribute more often.
Well, that about sums it up I think !
Does the status of 'python project member' come with
certain expectations that must be complied with ? ;-)
There are a few conventions that are followed more
or less stringently. You should be aware of the
things in the developer FAQ,
http://www.python.org/dev/devfaq.html
Initially, "new" developers should follow a
"write-after-approval" procedure, i.e. they should not
commit anything until they got somebody's approval.
Later, we commit things which we feel confident about,
and post other things to SF.
I don't think I will be committing stuff any time soon.
But thanks for mentioning.
Bye
