Really? How so? BZ2File only started accepting the "a" mode in 3.3 (thanks to Nir's patch for this issue, actually). > If the refusal of backporting this to 3.2 and 2.7 is firm, I would beg to > document this limitation in the 2.7/3.2 docs. It is serious enough. Of course. I'll add a note to the docs once I've created the bz2file package on PyPI, so we can refer readers to it. > As the bug/feature judgment is not easy to make, I think python-dev should be > asked. Fair enough; I was actually going to suggest consulting the 2.7 release manager, but I suppose getting more opinions on the mailing list makes sense. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1625> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
