[Distutils] Old bug still unfixed? [ python-Patches-1183712 ] package_data chops off first char of default package

Hi! Yesterday, a student came to me complaining about an old distutils bug which bit him: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/patches/2006-August/020642.html The patch is quite trivial and cannot possibly break something AFAICS, so could someone please apply it? (Hmm, now that I write this; we are still using python 2.4.4 here, so maybe it has been fixed in between?) Ciao, / / /--/ / / ANS
