It did that for me for a while this morning. Not sure what causes it, but it went away before too long. We should be very suspicious. I've not received any feedback from my last check of the XML export machinery: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=529031&group_id=1&atid=200001 -Fred -- Fred L.

Barry has something set up to suck down the whole CVS tarball, I think every night. Fred was talking about the non-working feature that's supposed to give you an XML dump of the trackers (bugs, patches, feature requests). We don't have any backup for those, and that is worrying.

Fred was. The SourceForge export facility doesn't work for Python. He filed a bug report a few weeks ago. They boosted it to priority 9, but the bug report is still open and export-from-Python still doesn't work.

I BAW> thought you (or someone else) were working on that...? All I've got is a little screen scraper that diffs the current set of bugs and patches with a local snapshot. Once a bug is closed, it disappears from the screen I scrape, and then from my local database. I think Jeremy has a tool that downloads the entire set of open bugs into a local ZODB. Skip

Works for me. OTOH, the latest bug report: http://www.python.org/sf/534864 doesn't display any "Submit changes" buttons when I view it. All other bug reports I've tried do. I bumped into this while trying to assign the referenced bug to Fred (it's a crash when profiling XML code: it combines Fred's two favorite topics <wink>).

Yes it does -- just scroll right several page widths. There's a line with a very long word in the description. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

Woo hoo! So it does. Fred & I thank you. How about you fix XML export next?
