You think so? I think that a lot of people who are using 2.7 would like to have the fixes. They know how to use Python, but they would not now how to implement a patch. That is why I made this comment. Comments are (almost) always an exaggeration. When someone tells me: “I have been 1.000 times to the store to get my money back”, most of the time I would not take this literally, but understand it means very often. -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
