I've downloaded and formatted the 325 bugs in SF. Here's a breakdown of bugs by category (before I changed some of the Nones to an appropriate category): Build 18 Demos and Tools 8 Distutils 29 Documentation 39 Extension Modules 15 IDLE 1 Installation 8 Macintosh 23 None 19 Parser/Compiler 3 Python Interpreter Core 26 Python Library 78 Regular Expressions 14 Threads 7 Tkinter 11 Type/class unification 8 Unicode 6 Windows 16 XML 5 There's more detail available in html format here: http://www.metaslash.com/py/sf.data.html gnumeric file here: http://www.metaslash.com/py/sf.data.gnumeric text (tab separated) here: http://www.metaslash.com/py/sf.data.txt The info shown is: SF id #, Summary, Date Submitted, Assigned To, Submitted By, Category, Comments, Date of Last Comment. Current sort criteria is by Category, then by Date Submitted. Bugs fall into many categories including: platform specific, duplicates (e.g., RE max recursion), cannot be reproduced, believed to be fixed, but the submitter has not verified the fix, feature requests, and of course plain bugs. I may try to work up another list of the bugs which are almost fixed. Meaning, bugs which need verification or have a proposed fix attached. It would be great if people could go through topics of interest to them and help fix problems in that category. Many of the bugs in the 'Python Library' are web related (ie, cgi, htmllib, urllib[2], etc). Neal
