Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: I'm skeptical that a backport is a useful thing. First, the handler is primarily meant for use with PEP 383, which means that it's all internal; few applications will ever need to use it explicitly.
Furthermore, applications/libraries that do use it most likely will have to support 2.6 and earlier, as well, so they aren't helped with the handler. My advise to such libraries is that they should include and register their own implementation of it, or else fall back to "strict" on 2.x (say). In any case: this issue is closed by PEP 383 being implemented. If you still desire a backport, please create a new report. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5915> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
