Thank you, but your intentions stated above are just fine and what I presumed. The issue is not with you but with Terry suggesting that you should "make it available thru PyPI" with no qualification or caveat at all -- the knowledge that you had attempted to contact Steve Ferg and have not yet had a response was not available on c.l.py and in any case is not a justification for incitement to hijack. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
