I was actually think more of the backporting from master to 3.7 and 3.6. It was made very clear to me well over a year ago that "nothing" would be considered for 2.7. However, the issues I have been fixing have been around forever. I guess I was not smart enough to "request" a backport for the previous issues. Not trying to be a burden for anyone - is it worth looking into? I could try some "simple" merges. Most of the changes are closer to typo's that anything else. > > >> As to supporting AIX - I obviously, cannot promise 24x7 support - only >> best effort for as long as I am able.

Maybe open a bug report. I have a bug report, and a PR open for this. Would be "nice" to see it backported into 3.7 and 3.6 as well. https://bugs.python.org/issue36210 and https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/12202 > > Victor
