Where do I need to sign? :) If you'd like to add it to the Python distro (which after more thinking is probably the right place for it), nothing!... yet. Eventually the PSF will have a contribution form such as proposed here: http://www.python.org/psf/psf-contributor-agreement.html but it's not been approved yet, so we'd just have to remember to do it later <wink>. If you give me the green light, I'll add it to Python 2.3cvs. Then I can copy it into Mailman's bin/ directory "for convenience" <wink>. -Barry
