I wonder if there's any way to wave this one under their nose. If for no reason other than to stem potential Ruby envy. My only experience with the patch process is one patch I submitted in 2003, when I was still a Python baby.[1] I got lucky. Guido himself picked it up right away, suggested a few changes, and then checked it in once I made them. It showed up in 2.2, I think. [1] I tweaked nntplib.py to allow multiline results to be put in a file or a file-like object, rather than returned in a list. The list approach was really painful when retrieving headers from a large newsgroup. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=720468&group_id=5470&atid=305470 _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
