Put it on github and reply to any request with "patches welcome!". That's assuming it's ok for you once a month to go thru pull request queue and press "Merge" or "Close" buttons. If that's too hard, then well, don't press those buttons - someone else will pick those pulls into one's own fork and will maintain it. > > Thx, > > Skip > -- > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmis...@gmail.com -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
