Your fix masked one of the *actual* problems, which was that wsgiref.validate (contributed by Ian Bicking) was also using asserts to check for validation failures. This required a more extensive fix. (See my reply to your problem report.) Your post about the error was on Friday afternoon; I had a corrected version on Sunday evening, but I couldn't check it in because nobody told me about any of the "ordinary everyday maintenance" they were doing, and I had to figure out how to merge the now-divergent trees. The whitespace changes I expected, since you previously told me about reindent.py. The other changes I did not expect, since my original message about the checkin requested that people at least keep me informed of changes (as does PEP 360), so I thought that people would abide by that or at least notify me if they found it necessary to make a change to e.g. fix a test. Your email about the test problem didn't say you were making any changes. Regardless of "everyday maintenance", my point was that I understood one procedure to be in effect, per PEP 360. If nobody's expected to actually pay any attention to that procedure, there's no point in having the PEP. Or if "everyday maintenance" is expected to be exempt, the PEP should reflect that. Assuming that everybody knows which rules do and don't count is a non-starter on a project the size of Python. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
