I do remember Steven D'Aprano showing that there was a regression which I flagged up here http://bugs.python.org/__issue16061 <http://bugs.python.org/issue16061>. It was fixed by Serhiy Storchaka, who appears to have forgotten more about Python than I'll ever know, grrr!!! :) From your own bug report (quoting Steven): "Nevertheless, I think there is something here. The consequences are nowhere near as dramatic as jmf claims ..." His initial postings did lead to a regression being found. Tim Delaney
I'll begrudgungly concede that point, but must state that it was was an edge case that is unlikely to have too much impact in the real world. Unfortunately he's still making his ridiculous claims about the FSR, hence my nickname of "Joseph McCarthy". I'll admit to liking that, it just feels right to me, YMMV.
What also really riles me is that he uses double spaced google crap, despite repeated requests from various people here for others to fix how they use it, or get a decent email client.
