It's not that complicated, but normally I believe that only site admins can assign bugs (I could be wrong). You don't need to be "up to date on 2.6" as long as the changes you propose don't collide with other changes made for 2.6 - of which there will probably be relatively few so soon after the release of 2.5. The recommended way for non-committers to suggest changes is by patching your own copy of the SVN version then generating a patch in the form of a diff listing. The problem with this is the difficulty of getting committers to review and apply your patch (they are busy guys, after all). A number of them, however, have undertaken to do so if you review five other patches and report the results. I believe email to python-dev would be an acceptable way to report your results and request review of your patch. It's a good list to lurk on to keep in touch with developments. Keep it up and you may get commit privileges eventually! regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Skype: holdenweb http://holdenweb.blogspot.com Recent Ramblings http://del.icio.us/steve.holden -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
