Ditto, though none of my packaging is public :( so I only get +0.1 at most. And while I'm here, thanks to all on this effort!!! I was an early adopter of Py3 and having recently started using EPEL I was a little sad at the dearth of Py3 there. It's so hard to wander off the Fedora path, everything seems so ... umm long ago. -- John Florian _______________________________________________ python-devel mailing list python-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/python-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
