Noam told me in private email that this is *not* the motivation.
Instead, he wants mutable values. This, in turn, he wants so he
can catch modifications.

Python 2.5 ships with uuid.py and now I want to ask you
about its backward compatibility.
uuid.py says in its docstring:
This module works with Python 2.3 or higher.
And my question is:
Do we plan to make it 2.3 compatible in future releases?
If so, uuid needs to be listed in PEP 291.

Hi, sorry for my repeated posts. I just wanted to say that I improved
my patch a little bit, so it does exactly the same thing, but with
smaller code: you can see for yourself at

One reason for not switching to VC 8, which hasn't yet been explicitly
mentioned here, is that MinGW does not yet easily support linking to the
msvcr80 runtime library. Some C extension modules, for instance those in

I remember you voicing this point at the Texas sprint. I can't say I agree.
The behaviour of certain function (like signal and fopen) is undefined for
certain arguments. Undefined is undefined, exiting the program with an
