Here's the lowest hanging fruit I could find. Maybe some of these can be fixed/closed: These bugs/patches seem quite easy to close/fix based on last comment: http://python.org/sf/464405 - freeze doesn't like DOS files on Linux http://python.org/sf/534669 - remember to sync trees http://python.org/sf/599836 - Bugfix for urllib2.py this is closed, but should urllib also be fixed? http://python.org/sf/626570 - strptime() always returns 0 in dst field http://python.org/sf/627900 - Bytecode copy bug in freeze http://python.org/sf/618146 - overflow error in calendar module http://python.org/sf/569668 - LINKCC incorrectly set These bugs/patches may be relatively easy fix: http://python.org/sf/527521 - httplib strict mode fails in 2.2.2 http://python.org/sf/570655 - bdist_rpm and the changelog option http://python.org/sf/622537 - dummy_thread.py implementation http://python.org/sf/623464 - tempfile crashes http://python.org/sf/622831 - textwrap fails on unicode using defaults (didn't Greg have the fix on python-dev?) http://python.org/sf/622849 - inconsistent results of leading whitespace in textwrap input http://python.org/sf/630195 - bdist_rpm target breaks with rpm 4.1 http://python.org/sf/594893 - printing email object deletes whitespace
Are you asking for permission to fix them? I haven't looked at these specifically, but I can't imagine what would stop you. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

No, I was hoping to get some more people involved. If no one steps up, I will probably fix some/most that seem harmless. Mostly, it's another set of eyeballs, so silly mistakes aren't made. Also, it's an attempt to help relieve Martin. Martin does a lot of good work, but if there were more people helping, perhaps he could be more productive. Neal
