On rereading my comments, I apologise - you're absolutely right that I didn't have enough evidence to judge that you "don't care enough" about the patch. Thanks for clarifying - I entirely agree with you that just being willing to put together any sort of bug report or patch is valuable, and people should not be discouraged from doing so. (It's a sad but probably inevitable fact that many such contributors - I include myself here! - have expectations of speed of response which simply aren't possible for a volunteer project, and as a result get frustrated with "the process", but that's a separate issue) Paul. _______________________________________________ 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
