So here's a list of open items I'm thinking about for the 2.4.1 release. - os.access handling unicode filenames I'm still thinking over whether this is going to cause more problems for people who find it works for some Python 2.4 and not others. I'm leaning towards saying that this is a bug fix, but I'd appreciate any comments (pro or con). If no-one comments, I'll go with whatever my gut feeling says is the right answer.
- The unitest changes Changes to unitest to fix subclassing broke Zope's unittests. Should this change be reverted before 2.4.1, or was the Zope test suite doing something particularly dodgy? I'm talking about - unittest.TestCase.run() and unittest.TestSuite.run() can now be successfully extended or overridden by subclasses. Formerly, the subclassed method would be ignored by the rest of the module. (Bug #1078905). I've not looked too closely at the broken Zope code - can someone from ZC comment? How likely is it that other programs will also have been broken by this? At this point, I'm leaning (very slightly) towards the feeling that this should probably be backed out before 2.4.1, mostly because it seems to me that this is an incompatibility, rather than a pure bug fix. I'm now pretty sure we need a 2.4.1rc2 for this week, and a 2.4.1 final the week after. There's been a few too many changes for my tastes to say that going straight to a 2.4.1 final is a prudent course of action. -- Anthony Baxter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It's never too late to have a happy childhood. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
