Such programs are broken already; if you require some specific behaviour, you have to take the steps to ensure your environment is set up to your expectations. ISTR seeing this discussed as a Python bug. That being said, the patch looks good. > The attached (untested) patch should fix this bug. Have you actually run into an issue with the current behaviour? If so, I'd really like it if you could test the patch :) By the way, scanadf is mostly deprecated these days, as scanimage can pretty much act as a replacement.
