There's no maybe about it. http://python.org/sf/1544277 There were also problems with the global statement and something with keyword args. Though, both of those may have been fixed. Georg would probably remember, I think he fixed at least one of them. It's definitely broken unless someone fixed it when I wasn't looking. :-) I agree with Martin, a new maintainer would be nice. I plan to look at compiler2 when I get a chance. n -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
