Well I believe Alex did what he did during his work day @ Rackspace. Distros specifically I don’t believe so, although both Alex and myself agreed that it made sense for the SSL changes to wait until after the other changes since it was the largest and most complicated. I think that’s the one where it makes the most sense to try and garner help from Red Hat or the like.
Perhaps Nick knows someone at Red Hat we can poke to see if they’d be willing to do the SSL patch :) On May 18, 2014, at 10:28 PM, Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> wrote: > Thanks for the update, Donald.
