Comment (by kcrisman):
> > Yikes! Yeah, and the (few) spkgs in a similar situation are like your
new one. Good eye. Maybe this is something that should even be changed
for the 0.7 spkg, to be honest... too bad about backward compatibility,
but this is pretty important.

> But it's been that way for a long time, so IMHO it's not worth
recreating the 0.7 spkg just for that. Can you tell I'm lazy? :-)
Not lazy, just more efficient with your time than I am.
So does that mean you are ok with this spkg as is? I mean, it's been out
there six months... I mean, if the point of sage-mode is to be
functional, not bug-free, and has been for a while, then this is not
necessarily horrible. Sage isn't bug-free either. Are the bugs
documented? As long as they aren't nasty silent failures, I guess.
> Well, I've been trying to get it to work with changes in the latest
python.el (a complete rewrite that will be in Emacs 24.2 when it gets
released). It still doesn't fully work, but neither does 0.7 or before,
so releasing 0.8 wouldn't be worse. However, I'm afraid that while
updating I may have broken compatibility with the old python.el. Since I
build Emacs directly from bzr it's slightly non-trivial (and boring) for
me to test with old versions. However, it's something I definitely need
to do—I just need to bite the bullet and do it. In fact I'll go do it
now...
Just let me know, or (better) open your own ticket for that, then, and
let's get this out the door. I can only review the dumb stuff like above,
since I don't use, nor know how to use, nor have interest in learning how
to use, emacs.
