Hi all, I noticed that PC\config.h still had a reference to "Python16.lib". I simply checked in a new version without submitting a patch or following any other process. I hope this was appropriate. Mark.

IMO, if you're an expert in an area and need to make a change in that area that indeed needs to be made and isn't going to screw anybody (and because you're an expert in that area, you're not wrong in your judgment of that <wink>), just do it! We'll see the diffs come by later. Guido, Barry, Jeremy, & Fred have been working that way a long time now. If they didn't want us to work that way too, they shouldn't have given us the ability to commit. empowering-the-masses-ly y'rs - tim

Exactly! So far it's working like a charm! --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

If this isn't "proper", then the process is broken. IMO, patches are for people without commit access, or when a committer wants some feedback on their patch. Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
