+1 on adding it to Python 2.6. -0 for Python 2.5.x: Applications/modules written for Python 2.4 and 2.5 won't be expecting Unicode strings in sys.path with all the consequences that go with it, so this is a true change in semantics, not just a nice to have additional feature or "bug" fix. OTOH, those applications will just break in a different place with the patch applied :-) -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Sep 08 2006) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try mxODBC.Zope.DA for Windows,Linux,Solaris,FreeBSD for free ! :::: _______________________________________________ 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
