[resent since python.org ran out of disk space]
My only problem with it is your copyright notice. AFAIK, patches to the Python core cannot contain copyright notices without proper license information. OTOH, I don't think that these minor changes really warrant adding a complete license paragraph.
I'd like to get an "official" clarification on this question. Is it the case that patches containing copyright notices are only accepted if they are accompanied with license information? I agree that the changes are minor, I also believe that I hold the copyright to the changes whether I attach a notice or not (at least according to our local copyright law). What concerns me that without such a notice, gencodec.py looks as if CNRI holds the copyright to it. I'm not willing to assign the copyright of my changes to CNRI, and I'd like to avoid the impression of doing so. What is even more concerning is that CNRI also holds the copyright to the generated files, even though they are derived from information made available by the Unicode consortium! Regards, Martin
