Greg <greg.helli...@gmail.com> added the comment: Just looking at the indicated file in the 2.6.4 release tarball, it does not seem that it would apply cleanly. The line numbers do not apply properly anymore, though the edited lines themselves still appear to be unaffected. Without context diff in the original patch, it's difficult for me to asseess exactly which lines should be the affected ones.
Unfortunately, I'm not in a position right now with my job to spend the time necessary to produce this as a patch since I'm on a timescale that requires equivalent functionality by Wednesday on production systems. Modifying it to apply cleanly to the latest versions of Python appears like it would be easy, if the internals of that file have not changed drastically in structure since 2.6.4. Documentation should be relatively straightforward as well, since the functionality the patch introduces is rather transparent. Unit tests are beyond my expertise to comment on. Would have loved to have seen this in the 2.7/3.1 series, as it would make my task much easier! I'll keep it in mind for my "off time" this holiday weekend. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3972> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
