Now, that would be rather silly. I would have to familiarize myself with the code for the Python interpreter, then send a patch to the maintainers (and hope they notice it in their inboxes), while the maintainers themselves could probably "fix" the problem in two minutes flat. No thanks! My suggestion is trivial to implement and would benefit every Python programmer (even if only slightly), so I don't think it is too much to ask for. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
