Should I backport this change to 2.5.1? Con: The patch adds two new internal functions, _sync_flush() and _sync_close(), so it's an internal API change. Pro: it's a patch that should reduce chances of data loss, which is important to people processing mailboxes. Because it fixes a small chance of potential data loss and the new functions are prefixed with _, my personal inclination would be to backport this change. Comments? Anthony, do you want to pronounce on this issue? --amk _______________________________________________ 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
