May I have developer status on the SourceForge CVS, please? I maintain two standard-library modules (shlex and netrc) and have been involved with the development of several others (including Cmd, smtp, httplib, and multifile). My only immediate plan for what to do with developer access is to add the browser-launch capability previously discussed on this list. My general interest is in improving the standard class library, especially in the areas of Internet-protocol support (urllib, ftp, telnet, pop, imap, smtp, nntplib, etc.) and mini-language toolkits and frameworks (shlex. netrc, Cmd, ConfigParser). If the Internet-protocol support in the library were broken out as a development category, I would be willing to fill the patch-handler slot for it. -- <a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr">Eric S.

Anything to avoid creating jobs. -- Dave Barry
