Hi, I'm sending this to the list - I suppose you wanted it to go there, too.

LabelFormat is hard to understand and inflexible (in comparison with a python script). Python requires more maintenance. What we'll end up with I have no idea. Kern knows, perhaps, so I cc'ed him. > i'd really like to get this working on the test system, where i can > freely debug python, if needed. > > i could roll it out with labelformat, but if that breaks in a year (and > python is kept), i'll have a bigger problem. I guess that a final decision will not be made before version 3 is in the pipeline. As far as I know, Kern is currently fixing things in the 2.2 versions, and thinking about major projects to put into version 3. If, during the initial coding of version 3, problems with LabelFormat or python develop, a decision will be made. I'm not in a position to foresee what will happen, or even which option - LabelFormat or python - is more likely to be dropped, though.
