.:. brainsik <spork-python(a)theory.org> added the comment: Since the note is incorrect, it seems like it should be removed. What "results it is based on" are you referring to and what complaints are you concerned about? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5212> _______________________________________
