No, I want to be able to easily disable the newly added checks in 2.7.9+ to get systems such as these behave the same as with 2.7.8, since without this option, people using these system are going to be forced to stick with buggy 2.7.8 systems. It's rather unusual that a patch level release completely breaks an existing setup. I understand why this was done, but in the light of backwards compatibility, it's a huge issue for people. PS: Python installations in Zope systems are often custom installs, not system installs of Python. The AIX system I'm referencing here still has Python 2.6 as system Python version. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23857> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
