I'm with Martin. In these days of distributed version control systems, I would think that the effort for the Haiku folks to maintain a branch of Python in their own version control would be minimal. It is likely that for each new Python version that comes out, initially it is broken on Haiku, and then they have to go in and fix it. Doing that in their own version control has the advantage that they don't have to worry about not breaking support for any other minority operating systems, so I expect that all in all the cost will be less for them than if they have to submit these patches to core Python; and since that will definitely be less work for core Python, I would call that a win-win solution. ---------- nosy: +gvanrossum _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4933> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
