Thanks, this may be a nice enhancement for 3.4. For 3.2 and 3.3, I'd prefer to go the safe way of simply limiting the number of wildcards. If OpenSSL only accepts one per fragment, accepting one or two is certainly fine for Python as well :-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17980> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
