Python 2.5 specific bug
Python-knowledgeable people: I seem to have uncovered a bug specific to python 2.5. Could you please take a look at #481071 and advise how to go about tracking it down? The bug can be reproduced with python 2.5 but only on Debian systems--on an Ubuntu 8.04 system the code does not throw an error. Please try the test case attached to the bug and let me know if you see it too. -- Sam Morris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It will be no surprise to anyone that the patch in Ubuntu [0] that prevents this from happening was not forwarded to Debian.

I've suggested to contact both actual maintainer and co-maint to please orphan it if they are no more interested / have no more time, if 7/10 days will pass with no reply, go ask the QA team for what to do. If we can get an O: for it, we can inject in the DPMT repository, and start maintaining it in the team (I volunteer to comaint, and do the previous steps if Sam prefers me to do).
