http://bugs.python.org/issue1745035 I guess this one should concern both 2.4 and 2.5 branches.
Egregious though the error may be I can't myself see that a complete new release is justified simply to include a four-line patch in a single (not often-used?) module. If it were a buffer overflow it might be different (but that would pretty much have to involve a C component). Couldn't we just publicize the patch? I can't bring myself to believe that 1745035 is really "important" enough. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/
