Aaaaaaaaaaaargh! ;-) Here we go again: fixing the tokenizer is great and all, but then what about all tools that read source files line by line? Eg. linecache.py, all IDE's, etc. etc.
<grin> I'll repeat my question of yesterday: is there any reason why we couldn't start with QIO? I did some checking after I sent that out, and QIO claims that it can be configured to recognize different kinds of line endings. QIO is claimed to be 2-3 times faster than Python 1.5.2; don't know how that compares to 2.x.
