Or because no one cared enough to test a patch that was produced 2.5 years ago (not directed at Martin, just pointing out why the patch stalled). http://python.org/sf/708374 With just a little community support, this can go in. I suppose now that we have the buildbots, we can check in untested code and test it that way. The patch should be reviewed. n -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
