One thing I completely forgot to persue because of PEP 302 was the plan to move Tools/freeze/modulefinder.py to Lib/. I would love for this to be in 2.3a1, but nor Thomas Heller nor I have written the needed documentation for it yet. If you allow it to go into 2.3a1, I promise to submit documentation well before 2.3a2.
Fine. At least add a note to Misc/NEWS, and make sure that the freeze tool still works.
There's also a patch from me for modulefinder.py sitting on sf which would be nice to make it in at the same time: http://www.python.org/sf/643711 It vastly reduces the number of false warnings about missing submodules. Additionally it adds a new API for getting info about missing modules which distinguishes between "surely missing" and "maybe missing".
Ditto. It looks like it's going to be at least a couple more hours before datetime.c is ready anyway. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
