Since the bug doesn't happen in production builds of Python, only in debug builds, I'm not really worried that it's still a factor, even if you believe that the Python folk still haven't patched it. In short, I agree with Heikki that we could remove this. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs

Any objections to removing it? We're still maintaining compatibility with Python 2.4 and the bug apparently still exists, so I would perhaps keep it until we kill support for Python 2.4. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
