[Python-Dev] order of Misc/ACKS

2011-11-11 Thread Eli Bendersky
The PS: at the top of Misc/ACKS says: PS: In the standard Python distribution, this file is encoded in UTF-8 and the list is in rough alphabetical order by last names. However, the last 3 names in the list don't appear to be part of that alphabetical order. Is this somehow intentional, or just a
