repoze.who doesn't look abandoned to me, so it is just repoze.what: https://github.com/repoze/repoze.who/commits/master who's just not being released (does anybody else smell a Laurel and Hardy skit coming on?) Also, this may have been something temporary, that then got left around because nobody bothered to try the released versions: https://github.com/repoze/repoze.what/commit/b9fc014c0e174540679678af99f04b01756618de note, 2.0a1 wasn't compatible.. but perhaps 2.2 would work fine? __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
