Several people argue for unbundling Tools/ and Demo/ in 1.6. I'd like to
argue to leave them in. They're not especially big, and IMHO they are
quite valuable, *especially* to the novice user. In fact, I'd like to
argue that Demo/ should be promoted to the same status as Tools/ (by which
I mean included in the Windows binary distribution). Unbundling Tools/
would mean unbundling IDLE, which IMHO would be a big strategic mistake.
However, I wouldn't be against a cleanup of said directories. …
[View More]Some things
should probably be removed (anything which uses stdwin), some of the code
in classes is showing its age (notes about "being upgraded for Python 1.1"
=), etc. That said, the tkinter/ directory is the best place to look for
simple Tkinter code, and should be included, IMHO.

Now that 1.5.2 is finalized, I'll be starting to prepare a patch for the
rich comparisons.
Guido, how do you envision python-dev working? Do you want to hand out a
TODO list for 1.6?

Wasn't SunOS 4.x the problem child here? There are still a lot of
people using these systems, for reasons that aren't clear to me. (Did
support for some older hardware get dropped? Sounds like the most
reasonable reason to use the old OS is legacy hardware.)

I'm trying to migrate from ZopeHTTPServer to ZServer 1.0b1. I was seeing
the ZServer headers turning up in pages generated by the process. When I
viewed the page source of the generated HTML I saw:
HTTP/1.0: 200 OK
Server: Zope/experimental ZServer/1.1b1
Date: Wed, 21 Apr 1999 13:00:38 GMT

I run ZServer behind an Apache 1.3.3 running mod_proxy. Apparently Apache
doesn't recognize the HTTP response when there is a colon following the
version number and adds a simple set of headers itself. I guess web
browsers either ignore that line or are more lenient in their parsing of the
response.
The following simple patch corrects the problem:
diff -c2 HTTPResponse.py.~1~ HTTPResponse.py
*** HTTPResponse.py.~1~ Tue Apr 13 15:21:12 1999
--- HTTPResponse.py Wed Apr 21 09:05:00 1999

*** 146,150 ****
# status header must come first.
! append("HTTP/%s: %s" % (self._http_version, status))
if headers.has_key('status'):
del headers['status']
--- 146,150 ----
# status header must come first.
! append("HTTP/%s %s" % (self._http_version, status))
if headers.has_key('status'):
del headers['status']
