Eric didn't merge it with fileinput, but instead checked in a separate module "compilerlike". I have several comments on the code, but my main complaint is about process. This is a random bit of code that got checked in without any kind of discussion about whether it was worth checking into the standard library, and whether this particular implementation was right. There was some discussion afterwards, to which Eric did not respond. Given that Eric apparently doesn't care enough about his code to defend it, I propose to delete it from CVS.
+1 Side note to Eric: as a subscriber to python-dev, but not currently a member of the actual development process, I generally don't see checkin messages unless someone else comments on them. I think at a minimum courtesy would suggest that you post an announcement of the checkin when it's feature work that hasn't been PEPed. -- --- Aahz (@pobox.com) Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 <*> http://www.rahul.net/aahz/ Androgynous poly kinky vanilla queer het Pythonista I don't really mind a person having the last whine, but I do mind someone else having the last self-righteous whine.
