That's certainly more in the direction of what I think is an appropriate upstream solution. The thing is, there isn't one single "what's best for users" resolution. There are many, many competing requirements and I think it will be difficult to satisfy everyone. I'm particularly sensitive to complaints of unexpected changes between micro releases. -Barry _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
