Sorry to hear that :( > I would consider that a bug, not a feature request. Semantic issues aside, my concern here is that the patch for 2.7 is considerably larger than the one for 3.3, and the code it modifies is more fragile. An alternative solution I'd like to pursue is to backport 3.3's BZ2File implementation to run on 2.7, and release it on PyPI. That way there's no risk of introducing regressions for people who don't need this facility, and those who do can get it without needing to upgrade to 2.7.3 (or even wait for it to be released). It shouldn't take much effort to get it working on 2.6 as well. How does that sound? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1625> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
