Note that the standard library policy has always been that the library for Python 2.X does not need to work with an earlier Python interpreter. Modules that must continue to work with earlier versions are listed in PEP 291. (Yes, another PEP to look at in addition to 360. IMHO we should require all modules with version constraints or external master source to have comments indicating this *in the code*, at the top of every source file, so that someone writing a patch or bugfix knows what the requirements are.) --amk _______________________________________________ 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
