I also think that going off and writing scripts in Python when one knows that devscripts is a Perl and shell project is the wrong way to try to contribute. One generally tries to work with a project, not write a lot of code in a language the project isn't using and then come back later to try and push that code into the project. -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <james...@debian.org> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
