"Now, that would be rather silly. I would have to familiarize myself
with the code for the Python interpreter, then send a patch to the
maintainers (and hope they notice it in their inboxes), while the
maintainers themselves could probably "fix" the problem in two minutes
flat. No thanks!"
and a couple of other posts with a similar tone. open source developers
tend to ignore people who use the "you're just a bunch of code monkeys"
intimidation approach, especially when combined with an undertone of
"what I'm proposing should be easy, and if it isn't, that's because
you're incompetent". claiming to talk for everyone else doesn't really
help, either.
I suggest doing what you should have done from the start; go to the
feature request tracker:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=5470&atid=355470
and click "suggest new".
