Will do - I plan to check in a bunch of fixes tomorrow morning. (continuing gdb hell today).
Just an update to this - my plans were wrecked by a cablemodem outage, however I'm spending tomorrow on branch mgmt - work is keen for me to take some of the 6 weeks leave I've built up, so I'm taking a few days off to work on this. As far as trying to delegate checkins of code - would people prefer I post a big list here, mail the original authors of the patches, or just do it myself? Anthony

We have similar views on what constitutes "a vacation" <wink>.
Do it yourself so far as is humanly possible. That way (a) it will get done; and (b) the developers won't come to resent bugfix releases (if we had time to spare for this, we wouldn't ask for volunteers). it's-a-job-as-well-as-an-easy-way-to-burn-excess-vacation-days-ly y'rs - tim
In general, trying to reach the original authors will just add delays. Do it yourself, or if you're not sure, post here. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
