I don't mind that at all, either. What I dislike is "I have this issue, here is what I've got, and I will continue to work on it" kind of reports (when Dave clearly said that his patch is work-in-progress). There is a worse kind, where people say "I have this issue", followed (after 15 minutes) with "I found out more", and then going on with that for a while. I feel that this wastes the reader's time (who may actually start to work on the issue as well, duplicating efforts) - this is something that submitters really need to consider. It's not this bad in this issue, since Dave said from the beginning that it is work-in-progress. On-topic: what action do you suggest for this issue? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15540> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
