How can they know that they depend on "a quirk in behaviour of an older version" if a newer version hasn't been released? This sounds bogus. Besides, not letting me install their app/library on a newer Python just because they are not /sure/ it will work is IMO an active nuisance. The user should be treated as an adult. _______________________________________________ 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
