I believe a reasonable (com)promise would be to guarantee repeatability accross a given set of bugfix releases (for example, accross all 2.6.x releases). We shouldn't necessarily commit to repeatability accross feature releases, especially if it conflicts with desireable opportunities for improvement. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9025> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
