Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: Thanks for the report and patch. Has this bug been a problem for existing projects? Would you have links?
> Looks like this should've been done against the py3k branch instead. Yes, patches should apply to the py3k branch, or to distutils2. More guidelines at http://wiki.python.org/moin/Distutils/FixingBugs In this case, Tarek will have to decide whether this is a suitable bugfix for distutils or whether it’s for distutils2 only. There is a feature freeze in distutils, so we try to change the code only to fix proved bugs, in the less pervasive way possible, and with regression tests. > Perhaps there is a better way to do this under py3k? Or it's handled already? In the absence of a test (unit test, instructions to reproduce or script), it’s hard to tell. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11370> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
