No thanks!
And I believe that answers your original question. PS: begging for a fix on comp.lang.python is even less likely to get the developer's attention than posting a patch. They listen to patch submissions much more than comp.lang.python. At the very least, you should submit a bug report even if you don't want to take the opportunity to learn how to fix it yourself. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
