Huh? We're talking about a bugfix release for 2.3 here. Not a good time for improvements, which sounds to me like a euphemism for new features, not for bug fixes.
Adding a gettext compatible lgettext() might be a good thing, as well as bind_textdomain_codeset() (which pygtk users certainly have missed already) but I have to admit this is not a bug fix per se.
Definitely -1 for 2.3.4.
Even if they are backwards compatible, I'm still -1 on adding new features to a bugfix release.
Acknowledged. Will prepare a patch for the next major asap.
Sure, if that's what Barry agreed to. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
