We do care about public input, but not on possible bugs delivered this way. It is easier for everyone if bugs are reported through the SourceForge bug tracker at http://www.sf.net/projects/python .
and I got email back that everybody is on vacation till sept 6.
Don't know who that is from but is most likely a single person who forgot to turn off their mailing list subscriptions.
Since it is open source,
I would think that this an import issue since a python advocate would want python's user base to increase.
I am going to assume you meant "important" instead of "import". Yes, we would like to see usage grow, but we just don't have time to try to personally fix every bug through python-dev. That is why we have the SF bug tracker.
And if python , by design, is incapable of coexisting with all the other user programs and itself, what use is it?
Python can coexist, just don't expect it to come out in a hemp-based tie-die shirt holding a bunch of posies. =) I would wait and see if python-help can turn up some leads. If not you can try comp.lang.python since I suspect this is just a configuration error. -Brett
