A while back the suggestion was made that the mmapfile module be added to the core distribution, and there was a guardedly positive reaction. Should I go ahead and do that? No one reported any problems when I asked for bug reports, but that was probably because no one tried it; putting it in the core would cause more people to try it. I suppose this leads to a more important question: at what point should we start checking 1.6-only things into the CVS tree? For example, once the current alphas of the re module are up to it (they're not yet), when should they be checked in? -- A.M. Kuchling http://starship.python.net/crew/amk/ Kids!
