Grepping through Python's sources tells me that we have over 2,000 "XXX" comments. The thing that irks me about them is that the have a very slow rate of being resolved, since they usually act more as "notes to self" rather than easily attainable tasks.
So, I propose that we adopt a policy similar to Twisted's: All "XXX" comments must have an issue in the tracker and an accompanying link with the source code. That way we'll have a forum for discussing the changes and deciding whether they are reasonable enough to implemented. -- Cheers, Benjamin Peterson "There's nothing quite as beautiful as an oboe... except a chicken stuck in a vacuum cleaner." _______________________________________________ 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
