+1. Out of curiosity, I made a quick script to see if we had any candidates for bugs related to this. I didn't expect any bugs to be found, since with the amount of static checkers that have been run they should have been found. The only problem I found was in the S390 port of libffi (#ifdef-conditional code which wouldn't even compile). I also found (in ast.c) two instances of semantically correct code with the wrong indent level which I fixed (see rev 1ececa34b748). cheers, Georg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
