The maintenance burden is real even if it's not visible. For example, test_nntplib is causing frequently issues on our CI: https://bugs.python.org/issue19756 https://bugs.python.org/issue19613 https://bugs.python.org/issue31850 It's failing frequently since 2013, and nobody managed to come with a fix.. in 6 years. There are 11 open issues with "nntp" in their title (8 with exactly "nntplib" in their title). test_nntplib uses the public server news.trigofacile.com which is operated by Julien ÉLIE. Two years ago, Julien asked me if there is any plan to support the NNTP "COMPRESS" command. Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
