New submission from Bob Kline:
I have attached a patch which adds partial documentation for the done
attribute of the cgi.FieldStorage class. This addition is needed in
order to make it safe to rely on the current behavior of the class,
which sets this attribute to the value -1 when an uploaded

Thanks for the very quick follow-up. I may be shooting myself in the
foot here, but Sean's encouragement about getting patches to the actual
code lead me to wonder if it might be better to go straight for the
optimal solution here. As I implied in my ori

Ah, this is worse than I first thought. It's not just converting code by adding

Sure. I understand the advantages of the new approach to strings. Which, by the
way, weren't available when this project began. I don't disagree with anything
you say in the context of writing new code. I was, however, surprised

I _do_ have a specific proposal: replace `basestring` with `(str, bytes)`,
